Preparation

Preparation

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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the melted butter, water, vanilla extract, and almond extract, then mix until well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.

Baking

5. Spoon Batter

Using a tablespoon, drop small circles of batter (about 3 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

6. Bake Cookies

Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

7. Shape Cookies

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 1 minute. While they are still warm and pliable, place a fortune message in the center of each cookie, fold the cookie in half, and then gently bend the ends to create the traditional fortune cookie shape.

8. Cool Completely

Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
