Ingredients
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

- Add the flour and mix until just combined
- 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)
- Bake for 7 minutes or until lightly golden brown
- Working quickly, remove the tray from the oven, flip the cookies, place your desired fortune along the centre line and fold in half
- Place the gently folded cookie on the edge of a cup and pull the two corners down to form the shape
- Place the cookie in a cupcake tin to cool
- Repeat with the remaining cookies
- Melt the compound chocolate or candy melts and dip one side of the fortune cookies to coat
- Place on a sheet of baking paper to set and enjoy!
