HOMEMADE FORTUNE COOKIES

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!

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

Custom or prepared paper fortunes
1 large egg white
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon milk
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Print and cut out 3-inch wide paper fortunes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Combine egg white, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and butter in a bowl. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth and falls off the whisk in ribbons.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet; spread out into a 4-inch circle using the back of a spoon. Repeat once more.
  • Bake first batch in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on the edges and still pale in the centers, about 10 minutes.
  • Quickly lift up cookies using a spatula. Add a fortune to each. Fold cookies in half, pressing edges together lightly. Bend each cookie over the rim of the pan, bringing ends down on either side. Lift up and curl ends towards each other. Place cookies in ramekins or muffin tins to hold their shape while they cool.
  • Bake remaining batter in batches, folding and shaping the cookies while hot. Remove from ramekins or muffin tins when completely cool.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus more for tin
12 fresh wonton wrappers
12 small strips of paper with handwritten fortunes
2 tablespoons sugar
Special Equipment
A 12-cup muffin tin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease muffin tin with butter.
  • Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place one folded fortune in the center of the wrapper. Dip your fingers into a small bowl of cool water and lightly wet all four edges of the wrapper. Fold in half, gently pressing to seal the edges.
  • Fold ends of wrapper toward each other to create the shape of a traditional fortune cookie.
  • Working quickly with a pastry brush, generously brush each wonton wrapper with butter on all sides. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tsp. sugar, then place in a prepared muffin cup. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • Bake cookies, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool slightly in tin, then carefully transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Make sure your oven is preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the fortune cookies.
  • Use a damp cloth to wipe the baking sheet before placing the fortune cookies on it. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Be careful not to overfill the fortune cookies with filling. If the cookies are too full, they will be difficult to fold and may break.
  • Fold the fortune cookies as soon as they come out of the oven. If you wait too long, the cookies will become brittle and difficult to fold.
  • Store the fortune cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Fortune cookies are a fun and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make delicious fortune cookies at home that are sure to impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Start baking today!
