Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Whisk Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

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

Baking

  1. 5

    Form Cookies

    Spoon about a tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining batter, leaving space between each cookie.

  2. 6

    Bake Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye as they can burn quickly.

  3. 7

    Shape Cookies

    Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. While still warm, quickly place a fortune slip in the center of each cookie. Fold the cookie in half and pinch the edges to seal, then gently bend the ends to create the traditional fortune cookie shape.

  4. 8

    Cool Completely

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