Valentine's Day Fortune Cookies
Show somebody you love them with these adorable, pink fortune cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup sugar add more if you want a sweeter cookie
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 2 T water
- 2-3 drops pink food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Whip your egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Add the flour and sugar to your egg whites. Combine.
- Stir in the water, vanilla extract, and food coloring.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and use the back of a spoon to form a circle. I recommend only doing 2-3 cookies on a baking sheet so that you have time to fold each one before they start to cool and dry.
- Bake for 3-5 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. I found that my first batch was able to go for the full 5 minutes, but as the oven and baking sheet got hotter over time, the next batches would cook in about 3 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and use a metal spatula to carefully lift the cookie off of the sheet. Place your fortune onto the circle, fold the circle in half, and then place the bottom of the half-circle over the rim of a glass so that it forms into a fortune cookie. I'll link a video below!
- Let it cool in a muffin tin or something else that will help it keep it's circle form.
