Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, and water until well mixed.
  • Gently fold in the flour, sugar, and salt until just combined, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin 4-inch circle. Repeat, spacing cookies at least 3 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • Quickly remove one cookie at a time from the tray, place a fortune in the center, and fold in half. Then bend the edges towards each other to form the shape of a fortune cookie.
  • Place the shaped cookies into a muffin tin to cool and hold their shape. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  • Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

    Fortune cookies are so fun! I felt like a real chef when I made these. 😂

    I used coconut oil instead of butter and they came out fine. Still not the best though. But hey, worth trying.

    It was ok but the almond flavor was too strong for me. I’ll try it again without it next time.

    I don’t know about this one. My cookies turned out flat and didn’t taste very good. Maybe I did something wrong?

    Uh, isn’t this kinda a cheap dessert? Just flour and sugar? Who even eats them for real? I’ll pass.

      Sounds easy but who eats these?? I thought they were just for Chinese takeout. Not something I would make at home. 🤷‍♂️

      Honestly, I think fortune cookies are fun! They’re not for everyone, but they have a certain charm. You can dress them up too! Don’t knock it till you try it!

    My grandma made these better, they had real chocolate in them! Also, why do cookies need fortunes anyway?

      I get what you mean! Real chocolate would definitely make them better. But hey, the fortunes are what make them fun! 🙃

    Super fun to make with the kids! They loved putting in their own fortunes. 😄
