Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (pure)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Write fortunes on pieces of paper that are 3 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
  • Preheat oven to 300 F. Grease 2 9-X-13 inch baking sheets .

  • Sift the flour , cornstarch, salt, and sugar in a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
  • Add the flour to the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny but should drop easily off a wooden spoon.
  • Place level tablespoons of batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Gently tilt the baking sheet back and forth and from side to side so that each tablespoon of batter forms into a circle 4 inches in diameter.
  • Bake until the outer 1/2-inch of each cookie turns golden brown, and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (14 to 15 minutes).
  • Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand.
  • Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie.
  • To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.

Write your own fortunes and place them in cookies. Great for parties.

Provided by Aleta

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 egg white
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a cookie sheet. Write fortunes on strips of paper about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Generously grease 2 cookie sheets.
  • Mix the egg white and vanilla until foamy but not stiff. Sift the flour, salt, and sugar and blend into the egg white mixture.
  • Place teaspoonfuls of the batter at least 4 inches apart on one of the prepared cookie sheets. Tilt the sheet to move the batter into round shapes about 3 inches in diameter. Be careful to make batter as round and even as possible. Do not make too many, because the cookie have to be really hot to form them and once they cool it is too late. Start with 2 or 3 to a sheet and see how many you can do.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until cookie has turned a golden color 1/2 inch wide around the outer edge of the circle. The center will remain pale. While one sheet is baking, prepare the other.
  • Remove from oven and quickly move cookie with a wide spatula and place upside down on a wooden board. Quickly place the fortune on the cookie, close to the middle and fold the cookie in half. Place the folded edge across the rim of a measuring cup and pull the pointed edges down, one on the inside of the cup and one on the outside. Place folded cookies into the cups of a muffin tin or egg carton to hold their shape until firm.

HOMEMADE FORTUNE COOKIES



Homemade Fortune Cookies image

Whether it's sharing a positive prophecy with a friend, proposing marriage, or passive-aggressively letting your roommate know they need to do their dishes, nothing does the job quite like a fortune cookie. The key is to work quickly; you'll want to insert your fortunes and shape these light, crispy cookies right as they come out of the oven. Wearing gloves might be a good idea!

Custom or prepared paper fortunes

1 tablespoon melted butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Yield about 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg whites, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Time 50m

Yield 6 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
2 1/2 by 1/2-inch fortune strips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet thoroughly.
  • Whip the egg whites on low speed until light and foamy. Blend in the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
  • Pour in the melted butter, flour, salt, and extracts; mix until well combined. Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet. Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly into very thin 3-inch rounds. Alternatively, use the lid of a jar with a 3-inch circle punched out as a template, pour the batter in the ring, and remove. Because you must work quickly to shape these cookies, bake just 3 at a time.
  • Bake for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color.
  • Remove the cookies with a spatula and place on a work surface. Lay a fortune in the lower middle of the cookie, and gingerly (they will be hot) fold in half to make a semi-circle. Bend the edges up toward each other to make a crescent. Drag the crease across the rim of a small measuring cup, with the ends facing down. Cool in mini muffin tins to hold shape until crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.

FORTUNE COOKIES



Fortune Cookies image

These fun cookies also make wonderful everyday desserts. The batter used to make these fortune cookies is traditional tuile batter, pliable after baking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large egg whites
1 cup superfine sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet liberally with cooking spray. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and sugar, and beat on medium speed, about 30 seconds. Add flour and salt, and beat until combined. Add butter, heavy cream, and almond extract, and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of batter onto half of the baking sheet, and spread with the back of a spoon into a thin 5-inch circle; repeat on the other half of the sheet. Bake until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer baking sheet to a heat-resistant surface. Working as quickly as possible, slide a spatula (an offset spatula, available at specialty kitchen shops, works best) under one of the cookies. Lift it up, and place it on a clean kitchen towel. Using your fingers, fold the cookie in half, pinching the top together to form a loose semicircle. Hold the cookie with your index fingers inserted at each open end, and slide your thumbs together along the bottom line. Press into the center of the cookie while bending the 2 open ends together and down to form the shape of a fortune cookie. This whole process should take about 10 seconds. Once the cookie hardens, which begins to happen almost immediately, you cannot fold it. Place the fortune cookie on the kitchen towel to cool, and shape the second cookie. Repeat until all the batter is used up. To speed up the process, bake 4 cookies at a time, staggering 2 cookie sheets by 4 minutes to give you time to shape. To avoid wasting batter, practice folding with a circle of paper first.
  • Write your message on a long strip of sturdy art paper, such as Japanese moriki. Thread the fortune through the cookie when it has cooled.

FORTUNE COOKIES



Fortune Cookies image

This is a great recipe that came from the Food Network, so I wanted to post it here (I was looking for a really good fortune cookie recipe on here). One thing, I did find that when I used the recommended tablespoon in putting the batter on the cookie sheet, the centers of the cookies were too "doughy" and the edges were golden brown, and the cookies broke when I tried to bend them into the fortune cookie shape. So, using a rubber bowl scraper, I put a small amount on the cookie sheet and just swirled it around until it was a nice, thin layer, about 3-inches in diameter. This worked perfectly! But, when the recipe says only make a few at a time, it's no joke! These harden quickly and unless you've got others in the kitchen to help or you move with lightning speed, I suggest only making 2 or 3 at a time.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 egg whites
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper. Have fortunes ready to go on small strips of paper.
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed of an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and stir in melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, water and flour one at a time, mixing well after each. Consistency should resemble pancake batter. Spoon the batter into 3 inch circles on the prepared baking sheets. Leave room between for spreading.
  • Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges begin to brown slightly. Quickly remove one at a time, place a message in the center, and fold in half.

Fill homemade fortune cookies with personalised messages for a customised treat - ideal for any occasion, such as Chinese New Year, Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthdays and weddings

Provided by Chelsie Collins

Categories     Afternoon tea, Snack, Treat

Time 1h

Yield Makes about 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
3 tbsp sunflower oil
100g plain flour
2 tsp cornflour
100g caster sugar
1 ½ tbsp black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160 fan/gas 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment, or use a silicone baking sheet. Write or print fortunes on paper measuring 6cm long by 1cm wide.
  • Put the egg whites, vanilla, almond extract, oil and 2 tsp cold water into a bowl and whisk with an electric hand whisk until frothy, 20-30 secs. Measure the flour, cornflour, sugar and a good pinch of salt into a bowl, then sift into the egg white mixture. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter-like consistency. Chill the mixture for 1 hr.
  • Next, put a tbsp of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Oil a metal spoon, then use the back of it to swirl the mixture out into a 8-10cm circle. Repeat with another tablespoon of the mixture, to create 2 cookies. Make sure there is space between each cookie as they will spread in the oven. It is best to only bake 2-3 cookies at a time, as you will need to shape them whilst they are hot. Sprinkle 1 of the cookies with black sesame seeds, then bake for 10-12 mins until the edges of the cookies turn golden.
  • One at a time remove the cookies with a palette knife once they are out the oven. You want them to still be soft so you can shape them so work quickly. Turn the cookie over so that the sesame seeds are face down and put the fortune in the middle of the circle. Fold the circle in half to secure the fortune and pinch the 2 edges together to seal. Pop the cookie on the rim of a mug or cup and very gently pull the 2 corners down to get the fortune cookie shape. Hold for 10 secs, then transfer the cookies to muffin tins so that they hold their shape whilst cooling completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie mixture.

FORTUNE COOKIES



Fortune Cookies image

Going with an oriental meal tonight? End it with your own homemade fortune cookie. Could you ever let your imitation go with writing out "fortunes" for everyone. One for my daughter " I see a clean your room in your future".

Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup egg white
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Combine egg whites, sugar and salt.
  • Mix well until sugar and salt dissolve.
  • Add butter, flour, and extracts.
  • Mix.
  • Drop a few tablespoons of dough onto a well-greased cookie sheet.
  • Leave plenty of space for the cookies to expand.
  • I'd bake only a few until you get the hang of molding them.
  • Bake 10 minutes or until edges are light brown.
  • Mold warm cookie over a wooden spoon handle to form a cylinder.
  • Insert a"fortune".
  • Pinch ends together to shape the traditional fortune cookie.

Tips:

  • Opt for high-quality ingredients: This will greatly influence the taste and texture of your fortune cookies. Use pure vanilla extract, good-quality butter, and fresh eggs.
  • Follow the recipe precisely: Fortune cookies are a delicate pastry that relies on precise measurements and techniques. Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately and follow the instructions carefully.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough and chewy fortune cookies. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling and baking: Chilling the dough helps it to firm up and makes it easier to handle. This will also help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper: This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cookies until golden brown: The edges of the cookies should be just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and brittle.
  • Fold the cookies immediately after baking: The cookies need to be folded while they are still warm and pliable. If you wait too long, they will become brittle and difficult to fold.
  • Be patient: Making fortune cookies takes time and practice. Don't be discouraged if your first batch doesn't turn out perfectly. Keep practicing, and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

Conclusion:

With patience, practice, and attention to detail, you can master the art of making delicious and authentic fortune cookies at home. Experiment with different fillings and decorations to create unique and personalized treats that will bring joy to your family and friends. Fortune cookies are a versatile and fun treat that can be enjoyed on any occasion. Whether you're celebrating a special event or simply want a sweet treat, these delicate pastries are sure to please. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get baking!
