In a small bowl, mix butter, sugar, egg white and vanilla. Incorporate
flour. Drop by spoonfull (5 ml) on greased cookie sheet. Flatten the
cookies (to 3 inches diameter approx) with back of spoon. Cook in
pre-heated oven at 400 F (or 200 C) for 3-4 minutes or until sides = golden
color. Remove from oven.
With a spatula, remove cookies from sheet. Turn them over. Put a fortune
message in the center of the cookie. Fold the cookie in two. Press the
sides for a few seconds to make it hold. Lift cookie by the two ends, and
press its middle against the rim of a glass (will give it its “regular”
shape).
Put each cookie in a muffin mold to make it keep its shape until cold.
Gives 18 cookies.
IMPORTANT: I tried cooking the cookies in two batches. Yikes! Problem:
they “harden” so fast, you can hardly get to fold the the third one after
you put the message in it.
