Fortune Cookies

3 egg whites
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. Have fortunes ready to go on small strips of paper.
In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed with electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes.
Reduce speed to low and stir in melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, water and flour one at a time, mixing well after each. (Consistency should resemble pancake batter.)
Spoon batter into 3 inch circles on the prepared baking sheets. (Leave room between for spreading.)

Bake for 5-7 minutes in the preheated oven or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
Quickly remove one at a time, place a message in the center and fold in half together into a horseshoe shape.
If they spring open, place them in a muffin tin to cool until set.
Bake them long enough until they are golden around the edges or they will be soft, spongy and pancake-like.

Yield 36 servings.

Enjoy!
