Fortune Cookies

These cute little cookies are especially fun for Valentine's Day with a little love note tucked inside!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour- If you have bread flour use it
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla- or sometimes I use 1/2 almond 1/2 vanilla
  • 2 egg whites

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend to combine. Place in a container and chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper (see notes). Draw 3-4 (3-inch) circles on paper. Turn paper over. Spoon 1 teaspoon batter into center of each of the drawn circles; spread evenly to fill circle. Bake at 400° for 5-6 minutes or until the cookies are brown just around the edges and a little toward the centers. Remove from the oven. Let sit for a few seconds before removing from pan. Working quickly, loosen edges of cookies with a spatula, and turn over.
  • Place fortune along the center of 1 cookie. Fold cookie over so the edges meet ; press edges together. Gently pull the ends of the cookie down over the rim of a small bowl (or jar); hold for a few seconds or until set. Repeat procedure with remaining cookies.
  • Makes about 24 cookies.
