ingredients
makes about 30
3 egg whites
1/2 cup Confectioner’s sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup All purpose flour
method
1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Draw three 3 inch circles on the paper. Turn the paper over.
2. Place the egg whites in a bowl and whisk until just frothy. Add the Confectioner’s sugar and butter and stir until smooth. Add the flour and mix until smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes. Using a flat-bladed knife, spread 1 1/2 level teaspoons of mixture over each circle. Bake for 5 minutes, or until slightly brown around the edges.
3. Working quickly, remove from the trays by sliding a flat - bladed knife under each round. Place a folded written fortune message inside each cookie.
4. Fold in half, then in half again over a blunt-edged object. Allow to cool on a wire rack. Cook the remaining mixture the same way.

more information
Make only two or three fortune cookies at a time, otherwise they will harden too quickly and break when folding. If this happens, return the tray to the oven and warm through.
