Ingredients
- 2 egg whites (large)
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons water
To decorate
- candy melts or wafers
- sprinkles
Method
- Have your fortune/messages ready. You can print them online or write your own messages.
- Line you baking tray with parchment paper or silicone mat and set aside. Try to use a thick baking pan.
- Separate the eggs and transfer egg whites to a clean bowl.
- To the bowl containing egg whites add orange juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, vegetable oil and water.
- Whisk the mixture using a hand whisk till the mixture is frothy [not stiff], around 20-25 seconds.
- Sift all purpose flour, sugar, salt and cornstarch into the mixture.
- Whisk till the dry ingredients are well incorporated and you get a smooth batter.
- Keep the batter in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, this is optional but makes it easier to work with the batter. Preheat your oven to 325 F degrees.
- Take 1 tablespoon of batter per cookie and drop it on the baking mat.
- Using the back of your measuring spoon spread the batter to a thin circle, around 4-5 inch in diameter from both sides. Remember you have to bake only 2 cookies at a time.
- Bake at 325 F degrees for 11 minutes. [every oven is different so be careful of the baking time]
- Take out the baking sheet from the oven and release the cookies from the mat using a spatula. Flip the cookies immediately and place the fortune in the center.
- Fold the cookie in half, it's better to do this by holding the cookie upright.
- With the folded side down, pull the edges downwards over rim of a mug/coffee cup.
- It will take the shape of fortune cookie, hold it for few seconds and then transfer it to a muffin tray so that the cookie can maintain it's shape as it cools.
- Repeat the process with the entire batter, baking 2 cookies at a time. I was able to get 2 dozen cookies.
To decorate
- Once the cookies are cooled, melt your candy melts and dip the cookies into the melted chocolate and immediately roll them into bowl full of sprinkles.
- Set aside till chocolate hardens.
