1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and cornstarch until well combined.
3
Whisk Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until frothy but not stiff.
4
Combine Ingredients
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites, then add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and water. Mix until you have a smooth batter.

5
Scoop Batter
Using a tablespoon, drop small circles of batter (about 3 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread.
6
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
7
Shape Cookies
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for about 1 minute. While still warm and pliable, quickly place a fortune slip in the center of each cookie, fold the cookie in half, and then gently bend the ends to create the fortune cookie shape.
8
Cool
Place the shaped cookies in a muffin tin or on a wire rack to hold their shape while cooling completely.
