Here's a fun way to remind the ones you love how special they are: in a fortune cookie! This recipe is quick, easy, inexpensive and delicious, just the way we like it!
Ingredients:
- 1 egg white
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Directions:
Mix the egg white and vanilla until foamy but not stiff. Then sift the flour, salt, and sugar and blend into the egg white mixture. The batter will be just a little bit runny.
Grease up a cookie sheet. Place teaspoons of batter onto the cookie sheet and use the back of the spoon to spread thin.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 3-5 minutes or until the edges of the cookie are browned.
Using a metal spatula, quickly remove cookies carefully. Place the fortune in the middle of the cookie and fold in half.
Using the side of a soup bowl or mug, place the center of the cookie at the rim, bend it in to form shape and leave to cool. As it cools it will harden!
Enjoy!
