Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Fortunes or cute messages printed on thin strips of paper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted all-purpose flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk egg whites until frothy but not stiff, just starting to hold soft peaks.
- Slowly fold the egg whites into the dry mixture along with melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Mix gently until smooth; the batter will be thin.
- Using a tablespoon, drop about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and quickly spread it into a thin 3-inch circle.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Working quickly, use a spatula to lift one cookie, place a fortune strip in the center, fold in half, then bend the cookie edges over the rim of a cup or bowl to form the classic fortune cookie shape. Let cool on a rack.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, dip the open ends into the melted chocolate. Place back on parchment paper until the chocolate sets, about 15-20 minutes at room temperature or chilled in the fridge.
Notes
Work quickly when shaping cookies as they harden fast. Do not overbake; cookies will crisp more as they cool. Temper chocolate for a glossy finish or chill dipped cookies to set chocolate faster. If you miss the folding window, crumble cookies for ice cream topping.
