Fortune Cookies

*1/2 cup Flour

*1/2 cup Sugar

*1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt or Kosher Salt

*1/8 a teaspoon Cardamom, Optional

*2 Extra Large Egg Whites

*1/2 teaspoon Clear Vanilla Extract

*1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract

Cookies:

Whisk together in a mixing bowl the flour, sugar, cardamom and salt.

Then beat together the eggs vanilla and almond extract. Slowly mix in the flour mixture until smooth. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

Using your choice of mold space them on a half baking sheet lined with parchment paper or Silpat, then space evenly with six molds or you can use only one and refill and move as needed. See pictures below. Fill molds with 1 tablespoon of mixture a little more if needed depending on size of your mold. Carefully remove mold, lift straight up. Repeat as needed. You can bake three at a time if desired so you have more time to fold fortune cookie into shape.

Bake in a preheated 375*F. oven for 7 minutes.

Note: After baking cookies You need to work fast while cookies are still hot but you can handle with your fingers.

It takes a bit to form these fortune cookies some my crack a little. But working while cookies are warm will help.

Fold over in half the Cooke, slip in fortune paper etc… hold on to the middle edge, slightly pinch together-keeping the middle puffy-push the puffy part towards the pinched edge slowly, then bring around the edges to make fortune cookie shape.

You can watch the video on Food Network Molly Yeh Chinese New Year if you have Xfinity or network that supports Food Network. Also see pictures below.

You can dip the round end in chocolate and sprinkle wet chocolate with nuts or seasonal sprinkles etc…

Enjoy!
