Here is a supercute idea for New Year's, why not make your own fortune cookies with your own personalized labels. Here's how...♥
For the labels you can make your own or copy and paste my printable below
Ingredients ♥
2 egg whites
1/2 cup flour (sifted)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Makes about 12 fortune cookies
Instructions ♥
Set oven to 400F degrees.
Place egg whites in a bowl and beat with electric mixer on medium speed until very frothy, almost soft peaks.
Add sifted flour,
Add sugar, almond, and vanilla then mix.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to thin batter.
Using a Silpat baking mat, parchment paper or un-greased baking pan place 1 tablespoon of batter on pan.
Working from the center in a circular motion, spread the batter into a 5 inch circle. Start with two cookies. Once comfortable with the process more can be baked at one time. I was only able to ever bake two at a time.
Bake until edges are lightly browned. Mine baked for 6 minutes. Start watching closely at 4 minutes.
Working quickly, remove cookie from pan with a very thin spatula.
Flip the cookie over and place slip of paper on top.
Bring sides up and pinch together.
Next bend cookie over the edge of a cup. The whole process of forming the cookie should take about 10 seconds. Once formed place cookies in a muffin tin to help them keep their shape while cooling.
Then, package in some Chinese take out containers…♥
