1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3
Prepare Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg whites. Then add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and water. Mix until smooth.
4
Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.

5
Shape the Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly.
6
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7
Create Fortune Cookies
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit for about 1 minute. Working quickly, use a spatula to lift a cookie and place a fortune message in the center. Fold the cookie in half over the message, then gently bend the ends to form the classic fortune cookie shape.
8
Cool
Place the shaped fortune cookies in a muffin tin or on a cooling rack to hold their shape as they cool completely.
