Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F
- In a small to medium bowl, combine eggs and almond extract. Whisk until frothy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and salt.
- Whisk in the flour mixture into the egg mixture, incorporating a little at a time.
- Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until water is smooth and falls into ribbons.
- Place one ½ tablespoon of batter onto a silicone may and spread into an approximately 3 inch circle. Repeat to make two cookies per batch.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown
- Use a spatula to remove the cookies from the matt. Add a fortune in the middle (if desired), then fold the cookies in half and place the flat side on the lip of a cup with the edges being folded down.
- Place folded cookies into a muffin/cupcake tin until cooled to retain their shape.
- Repeat from step 6 for the remaining batter.
- Enjoy!!
Notes
For the orange fortune cookies:
- Substitute almond extract for orange extract
- Add food coloring to 4/5ths of the mixture
- Make circle with orange food color.
- Using a piping bag, pipe dots of the uncolored batter around the edges. Use a toothpick to swirl the dots into heart shapes.
