Fortune cookies recipe:

Ingredients:
2 egg whites
50 gr sifted powdered sugar or icing sugar
30 gr melted butter or vegetable oil
50 gr sifted flour
1 tsp sifted corn starch
1 pinch of salt

Cooking method:
1. Prepare your personalized message (If it is too long, fold it).
2. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
3. Prepare the cookies template.  Draw two circles (8 cm) on parchment paper.
4. Combine flour and corn starch.
5. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites, sugar and salt until frothy.  Then add vegetable 
    oil or melted butter then mix well.
6. Gradually add flour then mix well.
7. Turn the parchment paper (cookies template paper) over. Spoon 1 tbsp of batter into 
    center of template and spread evenly.
8. Bake for about 5 minutes, until it´s edges turn into golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven. 

Work fast; 
  • lift up the cookie from the parchment paper, 
  • place folded message in the center of the cookie,  
  • bring sides up and pinch together, 
  • immediately bend the cookie over the edge of a cup, to create the fortune cookie shape.   
10. To retain the shapes, place it in a muffin silicone cup or a muffin tin while cooling.
11. Repeat all the processes (spreading the batter, baking, stuffing and bending) until 
      all the batter is used.
12. If you want the cookies to be more brownish and crispier, you can bake the cookies 
      again  in preheated oven (150°C/302°F) for 5-8 min.
13. Store in airtight container (last to 7 days).
store in an airtight container

Note:
 Fortune cookies must be shaped while they are hot. Once the cookie hardens, you 
 cannot fold it into the shape.
