Homemade Fortune Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • melted chocolate
  • colored sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Write fortunes on small pieces of paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 400°F. Using a pencil, draw two 3 1/2" circles on a sheet of parchment paper. Place paper, pencil mark down, on a baking sheet and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg white, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 1/4 cup flour; mix well. If the batter is too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until thin enough to spread.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon batter over both circles using the back of a measuring spoon. It should be as thin as possible. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are browned.
  4. Use a thin spatula to carefully remove cookies. Place a fortune in the center of each cookie and fold in half.
  5. Place center of cookies over the rim of a glass; gently press ends down to bend in middle. Set cookies in a muffin tin to help keep their shape. Repeat with remaining batter and fortunes; recipe makes about 12 cookies.
  6. Add a choco-lot of love at the end! Dip finished fortune cookies in melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles for an extra-tasty treat.

Add a Dash of Color

Add 8-10 drops of red food coloring to cookie batter. Dip finished cookies in white chocolate (instead of dark or milk chocolate) and top with red, pink and white sprinkles.
