Fortune Cookies


How cute are these? My mom wrote out personalized fortunes for the inside, give it a whirl!

Ingredients:
2 egg whites, room temp.
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup four, sifted
1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Recipe:
Cut a stencil our of a plastic coffee can lid in the shape of a 3-inch disk. Whip the egg whites until stiff and chill. In a mixer, cream the butter, then add the sugar and continue mixing. Add the four and blend in, then add the vanilla and blend again. Add the chilled egg whites and mix on well until well incorporated and the batter is smooth. With a small offset spatula, spread batter through stencil so it is a circle onto a silpat or parchment paper, about 6 per cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until light golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Quickly remove the pan from the oven and one at place a fortune across the center with a bit hanging out. Fold cookie circle in thirds over fortune with flaps over slightly overlapping each other. Turn over and bring opposing sides together and pinch.
Let cool.
