There are many recipes for fortune cookies but I like this one because there is no butter in the recipe. Butter = grease spots on your fortunes. Others are good just for eating, but that is what makes this one convenient.
I double this recipe as some stick, burn or break.
1 egg white
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
Prepare your fortunes and have them cut and ready.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I cooked mine on the convect setting and it worked well.
Prepare two cookie sheets. I have tried a few methods to keep them from sticking and the best results I've had is pouring the batter onto greased (w/cooking spray) silpat mats.
Mix the egg white with the vanilla until foamy but not stiff. Sift the flour, salt and sugar and gently blend or fold into egg mixture.
Place 2 or 3 teaspoon size amounts on the prepared silpat mats and spread into a disc about 3" in diameter. Resist the temptation to cook more than this. You will remove them from the oven and only have seconds to hurry and fold before they cool and get stiff.
Bake for 5 minutes or until you see slight golden edges. While one sheet is cooking, prepare the other.
Remove quickly from oven. Using a spatula, scoop up one of the cookies, lay the fortune in the center and fold in half. Then press the folded edge on the rim of a glass, pulling pointed edges down. Place finished cookie in a cupcake pan to hold it's shape and cool.
You will have some break. Eat them to keep you from being discouraged. :)
