A delightful twist on the classic fortune cookies, featuring a hint of almond and vanilla for a richer flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it thoroughly.
Greasing the sheet well ensures the cookies don't stick and are easy to remove.
In a mixing bowl, whip the egg whites on low speed until they become light and foamy.
Using room temperature egg whites helps them whip more easily.
Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites and continue beating until soft peaks form.
Adding sugar slowly prevents the mixture from deflating.
Mix in the melted butter, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract until the batter is smooth.
Ensure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg whites.
Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread it into a thin 3-inch round using the back of a spoon.
Keep the batter evenly spread for uniform baking.
Bake only 3 cookies at a time for about 5-8 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.
Baking in small batches allows you to shape the cookies while they're still warm.
Quickly remove each cookie with a spatula, place a fortune in the center, fold in half, and shape into a crescent.
Work swiftly as the cookies harden quickly once out of the oven.
Cool the shaped cookies in a mini muffin tin to hold their shape until crisp.
Using a muffin tin helps maintain the crescent shape while the cookies cool.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, and enjoy your personalized fortune cookies!
Prepare all your fortunes in advance to streamline the process.
