1/3 c Cake Flour
1/3 c Granulated Sugar
2 lg Egg Whites
2 tb Confectioners’ Sugar
2 tb Vegetable Oil, Preferably
-Canola
1 tb Butter, softened
1 ts Pure Vanilla Extract
1 pn Salt
Preheat oven to 300F. Very lightly oil 2 nonstick baking sheets or lightly
coat them with nonstick cooking spray. In a food processor, combine all of
the ingredients and process until smooth. Drop 6 scant tablespoonfuls of
the butter onto a prepared baking sheet, placing well apart from each other
on the sheet. (Set the remaining ingredients on the side.) With a small
spatula or the back of a spoon, spread each spoonful into a 3 1/2 inch
circle. Bake until quite golden, 10-15 minutes. Have a small bowl and a
muffin tin ready. Remove the aking sheet from the oven. With a think
spatula, carefully release the cookies but leave them on the baking sheet.
Return the sheet of cookies to the oven to soften for 1 minute. Open the
oven door but leave the cookies inside to remain pliable in the warmth of
the oven. Remove 1 cookie at a time from the oven. Lay a fortune in the
center of a cookie and roll into a tube, overlapping the edges slightly.
Holding the ends, fold the cookie in half down over the rim of the bowl to
form the traditional fortune cookie shape. Immediately transfer the cookie
to the muffin tin to keep it from opening as it cools. Repeat with the
remaining cookies. Spread and bake the remaining batter, and form cookies
as directed above.
Makes 12 fortune cookies.
