• 5 egg whites

To make some delicious Chinese fortune cookies and amaze our guests we will first pre-heat our oven to 375 degrees.

Next, we will put the 5 egg whites in a bowl,add the sugar and salt and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is thick and shiny. Gradually beat butter into egg white mixture. Next stir in the flour and add the almond extract.

Next, very carefully drop the mixture with a teaspoon onto a greased or non-stick baking sheet making sure to keep the dollops of mixture well apart.

It is best to bake only 1 sheet at a time for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Working quickly, place a message in the centre of each cookie and fold in half while still warm.

Lastly, place the still-warm folded cookies in cool muffin tins to shape. Cool completely before storing. Makes about 60 cookies.
