HOW TO MAKE FORTUNE COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup (60 gr) all-purpose flour
• 2 TBSP (18 gr) rice flour
• 1 teaspoons (3 gr) cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
• 2 large egg whites
• 3 TBSP canola oil
• 3 TBSP water
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp almond extract (*optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven 325 F (160 C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites together until frothy.
4. Add the oil, water, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg whites into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the ingredients together with a rubber spatula until it all comes together into a thin batter. The batter should run off the spatula into the bowl easily and should be thin like a crepe batter. If the batter seems too thick you can add a bit more water until it is very thin and runny.
5. Grease a sheet pan, or alternatively you can use a silpat. Use a 1/2 TBSP measuring spoon and drop spoonfuls of batter onto the greased baking sheet. You can really only bake two at a time per person you have available to fold them as they cool really quickly and start to solidify.
6. Bake at 325 F (160 C) for 8-11 minutes until golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and immediately use a spatula to release it from the pan. Add a fortune into the center of the cookie, fold in half pinch to seal. Fold the cookie in half on a mug and then place into a muffin tin to cool completely. This will help keep the shape of the cookie. If your hands are sensitive to heat, I recommend wearing gloves to do this as it is extremely important the the cookies are hot while you fold them.
8. After completely cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days.
