Fortune Cookie Recipe

Making fortune cookies may seem like a simple process, but trust us, when attempting fortune cookie recipes, many people find it frustrating and difficult. If you are so inclined to bake your own fortune cookies, we’ve listed a recipe below, but beware…. Don’t burn your fingertips!

Prepare fortunes by writing messages on about 20 strips of paper.

TIPS:

Make only two or three cookies at a time, because the cookies become stiff very quickly and when cooled are too brittle to bend into their familiar shape.
To form into the crescent shape, have a thin-edged bowl or pan on hand, along with a muffin pan.
To handle the hot cookies, wear white, cotton glove

INGREDIENTS:

8 oz . flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 egg whites
4 ounces vegetable oil
1 teaspoon water

In a large bowl, Sift together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir in the oil, egg whites, water, and vanilla. On a well-greased baking sheet, roll a very thin 4-inch circle of dough and bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
Remove one cookie at a time from the oven with a wide spatula; working quickly follow these four steps:
