Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Large egg whites | |
| ¾ | cup | Sugar |
| ⅛ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ¼ | pounds | Butter, melted |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Vanilla |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Almond extract |
| 1 | cup | Sifted all-purpose flour |
| 2 | tablespoons | Water |
Directions
Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time, the butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20 minutes.Preheat to 350 deg. Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonsful of thick batter for each cookie onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the back of the spoon, making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for 5 min., or until the edges begin to brown lightly. Remove to a wire rack. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each cookie.
Fold opposite sides together, crease crosswise at the center of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend backward for the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or small glasses to hold shape. Makes about 4 dozen. Shared by Micheal Kean, Prodigy ID# VMXV03A
