Chinese Fortune Cookies - 3

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	594g / 20oz	Egg whites (large)
3/4 cup	148g / 5.2oz	Sugar
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Salt
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Butter - melted
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Vanilla
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Almond extract
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	All-purpose flour - sifted
2 tablespoons	30ml	Water

Recipe Instructions

Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time, the butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20 minutes.

Preheat to 350F.

Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of thick batter for each cookie onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the back of the spoon, making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for 5 minutes., or until the edges begin to brown lightly.

Remove to a wire rack. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each cookie. Fold opposite sides together, crease crosswise at the center of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend backward for the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or small glasses to hold shape.

Makes about 4 dozen.
