Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff.
- Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl with the egg whites and gently fold until combined.
- Add the finely ground almonds to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour, folding gently until no lumps remain.
- Slowly pour in the melted butter while continuously stirring to ensure an even mixture.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread each dollop of batter into a thin, even circle, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 7-8 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Working quickly, remove the cookies from the baking sheet one at a time while they're still hot and pliable. Place a fortune strip in the center of each cookie.
- Fold the cookie in half to form a semi-circle, then gently bend the folded edge over the rim of a cup, creating the classic fortune cookie shape.
- Place the formed cookies in a muffin tin to hold their shape as they cool and harden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
- Once cooled, the cookies will be crisp and ready to enjoy.
Tips:
- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping to achieve the best consistency.
- Sift the powdered sugar and flour to avoid any lumps in the batter.
- Use a food processor to finely grind the almonds for a smoother texture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Spread the batter thinly and evenly on the baking sheet to ensure the cookies bake uniformly.
- Work quickly to shape the cookies while they are still warm and pliable to prevent cracking.
- If the cookies begin to harden before you finish shaping them, return them to the oven for a short time to soften.
- Write out your fortunes in advance so they are ready to be inserted into the cookies.
In conclusion, almond fortune cookies are a unique and delicious way to bring a touch of whimsy and flavor to your dessert table. With their crisp texture and subtle almond essence, they are sure to be a hit with friends and family. Plus, the personal touch of adding your own fortune messages makes them even more special. Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful treats!
