Depression-Era Theme Party: Stock Market Crash Bash
No need to order take-out! Make your own Fortune Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 Whole Egg-Whites

  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

  • 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract

  • 3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

  • 8 Tbsp Flour

  • 1.5 Tbsp Cornstarch

  • 1/4 Tsp Salt

  • 8 Tbsp Granulated Sugar

  • 3 Tsp Water

Steps
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 2 9-X-13 inch baking sheets. (If you are inserting a dollar bill fold it length-wise)

  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg white, vanilla extract, almond extract and vegetable oil until frothy, but not stiff.

  • Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt and sugar into a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.

  • Add the flour into the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny, but should drop easily off a wooden spoon.

    Note: if you want to dye the fortune cookies, add the food coloring at this point, stirring it into the batter. For example, I used 1/2 teaspoon green food coloring to make green fortune cookies.

  • Place level tablespoons of batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Gently tilt the baking sheet back and forth and from side to side so that each tablespoon of batter forms into a circle 8 inches in diameter.

  • Bake until the outer 1/2-inch of each cookie turns golden brown and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (14 - 15 minutes).

  • Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand. Place a fortune (or dollar bill) in the middle of a cookie. To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.
