Description

Ingredients

• 3 eggs white
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• ½ teaspoon lemon extract
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• food coloring of your choice (optional)
• ½ cup confectionary sugar
• 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 ounces sprinkles

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Write out fortunes or well-wishes on 4x1/2-inch pieces of paper. Line 2 baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl combine the egg whites, almond extract, and lemon extract. Beat until foamy, but do not allow peaks to form.
• Stir in the butter. Then sift in the flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated. If you would like to add food coloring, add 2 - 4 drops at this point.
• Working with only one baking sheet at a time, place a level tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared sheet pan. Using the back of the spoon, spread the batter out to a thin layer, approximately 3-inches in diameter. (Only make 2 - 3 at a time, as youll need to shape them quickly once they come out of the oven). Bake for 7 - 9 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. While one batch is baking, prepare the 2nd sheet.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven and quickly work with one cookie at a time. Using a spatula, move the cookie to a plate. Fold in half with a fortune inside. Lightly pinch the edges and then bend the flat side of the half-moon down over the rim of a cup.
• Place the completed cookie in the cup of a muffin tin so it will keep its shape until cooled.
• Sift the confectionary sugar into a small bowl. Add the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and water. Stir until fully combined.
• Dip one half of the cooled fortune cookie into the icing - use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the cookie, if needed. Sprinkle the sprinkles over the iced portion of the cookie and set on a plate to allow to dry.
