Ingredients

• 2 large egg whites

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt
• Fortune cookie messages (written on small strips of paper)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites and sugar until frothy.
3. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and stir until well combined.
4. Sift the flour and salt into the liquid mixture, and fold until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
6. Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter into thin 3-inch circles. Make sure the circles are even and smooth.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly place a fortune cookie message in the center of each cookie.
9. Using a spatula, lift one side of a cookie and fold it in half, then gently press the edges together to form a fortune cookie shape. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
10. Allow the cookies to cool for a few seconds, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Continue making fortune cookies with the remaining batter.
12. Store the fortune cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
