Categories: Chinese Cookie Dessert
Yield: 48 Servings
| 3 | | Large egg whites |
| 3/4 | c | Sugar |
| 1/8 | ts | Salt |
| 1/4 | lb | Butter, melted |
| 1/4 | ts | Vanilla |
| 1/4 | ts | Almond extract |
| 1 | c | Sifted all-purpose flour |
| 2 | tb | Water |
Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time, the
butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20
minutes.Preheat to 350 deg. Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop slightly
rounded teaspoonsful of thick batter for each cookie onto a lightly greased
cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the back of the spoon,
making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for 5 min., or until the
edges begin to brown lightly. Remove to a wire rack. Working quickly, place
a fortune in the center of each cookie. Fold opposite sides together,
crease crosswise at the center of the straight edge to form a flattened
side, then bend backward for the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or
small glasses to hold shape. Makes about 4 dozen. Shared by Micheal Kean,
