Categories: Cookies, Novelties, Dairy
Yield: 15 servings

5 tb Unsalted butter
4 Egg whites
1 c Super fine sugar
1 c Sifted A-P flour
pn Salt
3 tb Heavy whipping cream
1 ts Almond extract

Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC. Coat baking sheet with cooking
spray.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

In bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and
sugar; beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Add
flour and salt; beat until mixed.

Add butter, heavy cream and almond extract; beat until
mixed.

Pour 1 tablespoon batter onto half the baking sheet.
Spread with a spoon into a thin 5 inch circle; repeat on
other half of sheet. Bake until edges turn golden brown,
about 8 minutes.

Place baking sheet on a heat-resistant surface. Working
quickly, slide a spatula under one cookie. Lift and
place on a dish towel. Fold cookie in half, pinching at
top to form loose semicircle. Insert index fingers into
ends; press indentation into center of cookie while
bending ends together to form shape of a fortune cookie.
This should take about 10 seconds. Once the cookie
hardens, you cannot fold it. Repeat with other cookies.
Write your message on long strips of sturdy art paper,
and thread through cooled cookie.
