1 C all-purpose Flour
1 TB cornstarch
1/2 C sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C cooking oil (like veg. oil or canola)
1/2 C egg whites
1 TB water
2 TB vanilla
prepare "fortunes"
mix all dry ingredients together. Add oil and egg whites, beating until smooth. Beat in water and vanilla. Drop 1/3 C of batter onto a greased baking sheet (or silpat) and spread evenly into a 10" circle. Bake only one or two at a time at 300 for about 14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. With a WIDE spatula, remove one cookie at a time from the oven to shape.
Working quickly- flip the baked cookie onto your hand (use a towel or wear white cotton (church type) gloves to keep the cookie from sticking toyou hand). Place a fortune paper in the center of a cookie and lightly fold it in half. DO NOT CREASE THE COOKIE. Next place the folded edge over the side of a bowl, allowing the ends to fall downwards. Hold together for a couple of minutes while the cookie cools and firms. Repeat.
Makes about 6 large cookies - you can also make small ones- but still only make one or two at a time.
This takes some practice to get nice looking cookies- but so fun to make.
