Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and extracts. Sift in the dry ingredients and whisk it good, until you have a smooth batter.
- Grease a cookie sheet and then spread a tablespoon of batter into a 3-inch circle (it helps to use the lid of a ball jar as a guide).
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, until the edges are brown. Working quickly (but carefully, as to not burn your fingers), use a spatula to flip a circle over. Place a fortune in the center, fold the circle in half, and then pick it up and bend the folded side over the edge of a bowl to form your fortune cookie shape.
- Place in a muffin tin so that the shape holds while it cools.
- Repeat with remaining circles, and then bake another batch.
Recipe Notes
Only bake three circles at a time so that you have time to mold the cookies before they cool.
