Supplies Needed

• cookie sheets
• paper for fortunes
• large bowl
• spatula
   
• 3 egg whites
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons water

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment.
2. Prepare your fortunes!  Cut small stripes of paper about 1/4" x 1.5" and write your fortunes on them.
3. In a large clean glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed of an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes.
4. At low speed, add the butter, vanilla, almond extract, water and flour one at a time, mixing well after each.
5. Spoon the mixture (should be like pancake batter) onto the prepared baking sheets, forming circles about 3 inches in diameter. Leave a few inches between each one.

Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges begin to brown slightly. Quickly remove one at a time with a spatula, place your fortune in the center, and fold in half. Fold the ends of the half together into a horse shoe shape. If they open up, try placing them into a shallow cup or muffin tin until they cool and firm.
