Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Egg whites
  • 80 g Plain flour (2/3 cup)
  • 100g White sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 80g Unsalted butter, melted (1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • Compound chocolate or candy melts, melted for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/355F
  2. Place the egg whites and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until frothy
  3. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract and water, and mix until well combined
  4. Add the flour and mix until just combined
  5. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spoon the batter onto the surface, smoothening it out into a thin and round 7cm / 3-inch circle (Don't make more than 3 or 4 at a time, this will give you time to shape the cookies before they firm up)
  6. Bake for 7 minutes or until lightly golden brown
  7. Working quickly, remove the tray from the oven, flip the cookies, place your desired fortune along the centre line and fold in half
  8. Place the gently folded cookie on the edge of a cup and pull the two corners down to form the shape
  9. Place the cookie in a cupcake tin to cool
  10. Repeat with the remaining cookies
  11. Melt the compound chocolate or candy melts and dip one side of the fortune cookies to coat
  12. Place on a sheet of baking paper to set and enjoy!
