… and so i was left with one egg white (again)… and so i flipped through my “one egg white” recipes folder…. and so… the fortune cookies seemed the most appropriate for the chinese new year ♫꒰･‿･๑꒱
Recipe (combination of various sources)
Ingredients (makes twelve 3-inch fortune cookies)
1 egg white
1/4 cup cake flour (all purpose flour is fine)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp almond extract
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
Directions
– mix all ingredients together in blender until mixture is smooth. then place mixture in the fridge for one hour
– meantime, prepare “words of fortune” on strips of paper, and ensure you have a mug and muffin pan nearby
– preheat oven to 200 degrees C
– remove mixture from fridge and lightly grease the back of a baking sheet (or a baking sheet with parchment paper ~ i prefer this method)
drop a teaspoon of mixture on the baking sheet
spread the mixture using the back of the spoon till it is about 3 inches in diameter
bake cookie till the edges brown slightly (about 4-5mins)
wait for 5-10 seconds before removing cookie from pan and flip cookie the other way up and place a strip of fortune paper in it
fold cookie into half
then press both the sides down on the rim of a mug and allow to set for a while
remove from mug and place in a muffin or cupcake liner so cookie can firm up
Personal notes:
– i preferred to make mini cookies and used half teaspoon mixture for each cookie
– each cookie was baked for 2 mins
– do note that the cookie hardens up easily so it is crucial you work very quickly to fold and shape them. i started off making one cookie at a time and then moved on to bake 2 cookies at a go when i got the hang of it ٩(๑ơలơ)۶♡
no machine made pretty puffed up cookies, but homemade fortune cookies are equally fun (•‿•)

Hahaha yes I did Mel Mel …. Actually I kinda printed funny quotes so everyone can hv some fun
Hi Victoria,
I like fortune cookies… You never know what you going to get… A bit like Forrest Gump, isn\’t it???
Btw, reading your comment at my blog reminds me my schooling day that I always keep my fingers crossed whenever I received my report card from my teachers…. I was hoping that I can pass my English language and luckily, my grade is always on the borderline :p I used to hate English literature and reading but improves a lot now because I practice more writing at work and also blogging… I guess it is true that practice makes perfect 😀
I always tell myself… It is my blog and I can write or don\’t write whatever I want…. as long as I\’m happy :p
Zoe
you are very right zoe… our blog is really our little (private) space… we do whatever we want… i hated studying and reading all the massive words.. i hated maths… i used to tell people the only numbers i could process were the ones in my bank account…. i guess i\’m better than that now knowing it is important to read recipes carefully… and then shortly, i realised blogs like yours were interesting to read. you just brought life into words.. how you described the man and boy in your family reminds me of my husband (i\’m childless though)… so keep it up! i enjoy every bit of it
Your fortune cookies will definitely be a hit during CNY. Since you are the one who wrote the fortune, I bet every fortune cookie will bring smiles and laughters. Great idea Victoria.

Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog?
My blog is in the very same niche as yours and my users would truly benefit from
some of the information you provide here. Please let me
know if this alright with you. Thanks!
Hi sure. Thanks
Hi Victoria, Can I ask the vanilla \”extract\” refers to vanilla powder or vanilla essence? I have both from bake king.
Hello.. It is the vanilla essence, the liquid form.
Okie. Thkz for swift response. Planning to use this recipe after I am left with 3 egg whites from baking pineapple tarts.
Oops, 1 more qn. 1/4 cup flour equivalent to 32g? Not familiar with cup measurements.
hi there, no worries. 1/4 cup unsifted all purpose flour is about 31g, sifted, about 25g. if you are using cake flour, it is the same weight of 25g be it sifted or unsifted. hope this helps and look forward to yours soon 🙂
My son just requested me to make some fortune cookies for him, after he watched a US TV show, hehehe..Thanks for sharing, next time I can make for him liao..
Hi Victoria,
Fortune cookies are fun to eat! You will never guess what awaits you, except the baker, of course! haha!
Thanks for sharing these lovely cookies!
not only it is fun to make, the person eating it also find it fun waiting to see what \’fortune\’ ( the paper) awaiting him..hehe..
