Equipment
- Silpat
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp rice flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- 3 tbsp water
- red food coloring
- Valentine's Day Candies (red hearts)
- 1 Silpat Baking Mat (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl whisk the egg whites until frothy.
- Add the oil, water, extract, and egg whites into the flour mixture. Stir until it is well mixed and cookie dough resembles a thin pancake batter. If it is too thick add a small amount of water until it is the right consistency.
- Add red food coloring to the batter. I add the food coloring to half the mixture and I place the food coloring on a spoon before adding it. It only takes a little bit of dye. You do want a nice deep red cookie.
- Place a Silpat cooking mat down on a cookie sheet.
- Spoon a teaspoon and a half of batter on the Silpat mat.
- With the back of a teaspoon, spread the mixture into a 3 ½ inch circle. You can shape the cookies with your finger if you like.
- Add sugar heart candies to the shaped cookie. Place them along the edges so that they aren't in the sections that will be folded.
- You'll only want to place two cookies on a sheet. Once the cookies are out of the oven you only have a couple of seconds to mold them.
- Bake at 325° for about 10-11 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, either wear gloves or use your bare hands. The cookies will be pretty hot.
- Lift the cookie off the sheet with a metal spatula and fold the cookie in half. Make sure the candy hearts are the outside of the cookie when you fold them.
- Then place the cookie fold side down on the rim of a coffee mug. Hold in place to make sure you have the shape of a fortune cookie.
- Place in a muffin tin to hold the shape of the cookie.
- Download and print out the paper's fortunes.
- After the cookie is cooled insert the paper fortunes into the cracks of the cookies.
