large
Egg whites 3/4
cup
Sugar 1/8
teaspoon
Salt 1/4
pound
Butter,
melted
1/4
teaspoon
Vanilla 1/4
teaspoon
Almond extract 1
cup
Sifted all-purpose flour 2
tablespoons
Water
Directions:
Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time, the butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20 minutes.Preheat to 350 deg. Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of thick batter for each cookie onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the back of the spoon, making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for 5 minutes., or until the edges begin to brown lightly. Remove to a wire rack. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each cookie. Fold opposite sides together, crease crosswise at the center of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend backward for the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or small glasses to hold shape. Makes about 4 dozen.
