Make your own Fortune Cookie

We thought it would be a little fun to make your own fortune cookies, so we have written a simple guide on how to make them (Pictures coming soon). Please use this as a simple base/template and tweak your own as necessary.

Ingredients

Here is a list of ingredients you need (adjust where necessary for personal taste):

• 3 large egg whites
• 150g of sugar (reduce based on sweetness)
• 110g of melted butter (alternatively use Coconut Oil or Sunflower Oil)
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract (can be left out)
• 3 table spoons of water (45ml)
• 130g plain flour

Step 1

Pour the egg whites and sugar into a mixing bowl. Use an electric whisk to whisk the mixture into an airy conisistency and a little runny.

Step 2

Add the rest of the ingredients in (butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, water and flour). Mix thoroughly until you get a light airy texture as your batter mix.

Step 3

Line a baking tray with baking paper or parchment paper. Heat the oven to around 190°C.

Step 4

Take a spoonful of batter mix and spread the mix into a circle around 3 inches. You can tilt the tray to fill in the gaps. At this stage you will be best making 2-3 at a time.

Step 5

Bake for about 5 minutes or until you see them turning golden brown on the edges.

Step 6

Once you remove the tray from the oven, you will need to be quick as the cookie will begin to harden. Fold the cookie in half, add in the fortune message and then bend the cookie in the middle over the edge of a cup. Once the shape has been formed, put it into a muffin tin to keep the shape.
