This is a really fun dessert if you're serving homemade Chinese food at a dinner party. It's also an adorable gift on Valentine's day because you can customize your own fortunes!
Ingredients
1/2 C. flour
1 Tbs. cornstarch
1/4 C. sugar
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 egg white
3 drops vanilla or almond extract
1 Tbs. water
10 romantic fortunes (typed or handwritten on thick-bond paper, cut into 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long)
1/2 12 oz. bar of fine-quality chocolate, dark, milk or white, melted in a double boiler
Directions
Heat oven to 300 degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add liquid ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. Grease a non-stick cookie sheet with butter or non-stick vegetable spray. Drop one level tsp. of batter onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies begin to brown lightly.
Remove cookie sheet from oven and remove one cookie with a wide spatula. Quickly place a fortune in the center, fold in half and press against the rim of a bowl to form fortune cookie crescent shape. Continue to shape the remainder of cookies, returning them back to the oven for 2 minutes if they become brittle.
Cool and dip into melted chocolate, placing on waxed paper until the chocolate hardens. Wrap in plastic or waxed paper, or place in an airtight container. Can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
Yield: 10 cookies
