Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 3 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted or unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat; have fortune strips ready.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes. Add the melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, and water, mix until incorporated. Add the flour and cornstarch, mix just until combined.
  • Using a tablespoon, spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula or the back of tablespoon, spread the batter into a 3-inch circle. Only do two at a time!
  • Bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are brown. Remove them from the oven and quickly flip over. Fold the cookie in half, into a semicircle. Slip the note into the cookie. Place the semicircle onto the edge of a cup and quickly fold the ends down (see pictures below).
  • Place the cookie in a muffin tin to let it cool and hold its shape.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
