Fortune Cookies for Chinese New Year

Fortune cookies are a must-have during Chinese New Year. These crispy cookies with a hidden message inside are loved by both kids and adults.

Ingredients:

• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.
3. Add the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, and water to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter onto the parchment paper, spacing the cookies about 3 inches apart.
5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown around the edges.
6. Working quickly, remove one cookie from the baking sheet and place the fortune message in the middle. Gently fold the cookie in half to create a semi-circle and pinch the edges together. Then hold the cookie between your thumb and forefinger and gently fold the cookie over the rim of a cup or bowl to create the classic fortune cookie shape.
7. Repeat this process with the rest of the cookies and fortunes.
8. Let the cookies cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
