Work quickly as the cookies harden fast once removed from the oven. Wearing food-safe gloves can help protect your fingers from the heat while shaping the cookies. For a deeper golden color, add a tiny pinch of turmeric to the batter. Experiment with different extracts, such as lemon or orange, for a unique flavor twist. Make sure the fortunes you use are appropriate for all ages and audiences.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your fortunes: Print and carefully cut out 3-inch wide paper fortunes. (5 minutes)
02
StepPreheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. (5 minutes)
03
StepWhisk the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg white, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth and forms ribbons as it falls from the whisk. (10 minutes)
04
StepBake the cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a 4-inch circle using the back of a spoon. Repeat once more, ensuring the circles are well-spaced. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake until golden: Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are crispy and golden brown, while the centers remain pale, approximately 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
06
StepShape the fortunes: Working quickly, lift one cookie using a spatula and place a fortune in the center. Fold the cookie in half, gently pressing the edges together. Bend the long side of the cookie in half over the rim of a baking sheet, pulling the ends down on either side. Curl the ends towards each other to create the signature fortune cookie brim. Place the shaped cookie in a ramekin or muffin tin to maintain its form while cooling. Repeat immediately with the second cookie. (30 seconds per cookie)
07
StepRepeat and cool: Continue scooping and baking the remaining batter in batches of two cookies. Remember to work swiftly, folding and shaping the cookies while they are still hot. Once completely cooled, remove the cookies from the ramekins or muffin tins. (2 minutes)
