Sweet Girl: Fortune Cookies for the Lunar New Year
The Lunar New Year, one of the biggest family-get-together events of the year, is a heart-warming occasion for Chinese families. It is a time to pay respects to ancestors and appreciate family. Now that your whole clan is gathering, let’s prepare some fun fortune cookies for them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1⁄2 tsp vanilla
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- Fortune strips
Method
- In a bowl, whisk the egg whites and sugar until foamy.
- Add melted butter, vanilla extract, water, and all-purpose flour and mix until well incorporated. Use a spoon to scoop any air bubbles out.
- For the fortune strips, make sure the pieces of paper are small enough to fit in the cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For each cookie, place a teaspoonful of batter on the baking sheet and spread into a small circle.
- Bake for 5 minutes.
- Once the cookies are out of the oven, quickly place a fortune strip in the middle of each cookie and fold in half. Crimp the ends together to make the fortune cookie shape. Leave to cool and firm.
