You have them in every Chinese restaurant, now you can make them yourself. Try on this highly original, tasty & creative Fortune Cookie Recipe by I Love Milk & Cookies. Enjoy & help yourself to a happy, healthy Monday.
Ingredients:Â
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 cup plain all purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- Non-stick cooking spray
What’s next:
Go ahead & preheat your oven to 200 F or 93 CÂ & spray a baking sheet with some non-stick cooking spray.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, set aside.
Using an electric mixer, in a bowl, combine egg whites and sugar and beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
Add flour and salt and continue to beat until just combined.
Add the melted butter, heavy cream, vanilla or almond extract and mix until combined.
Pour 1 tbsp of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, using the back of spoon, spread the batter into a thing 5 inch circle. Repeat this on the other side of the baking sheet.
Bake for about 6-8 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Make sure to only bake 2 at a time as they will make folding them easier.
Remove from oven. Working as quickly and carefully as possible, lift one cookie off the sheet.
Place a fortune onto the centre of the cookie and fold it in half, pinching the top together to form a semi-circle.
Hold the cookies with both hands at each end and using the edge of a bowl as a guide, bending the two ends together, over the bowl’s edge. This whole process should take about 10 seconds.
Place the fortune cookie on the kitchen towel to cool, and shape the second cookie.
Repeat until all the batter is used up. To speed up the process, bake four cookies at a time, staggering two cookie sheets by 4 minutes to give you time to shape.
Alternatively you can thread the fortune through the cookie when it has cooled to achieve a different look.
