https://www.thespruceeats.com/fortune-cookie-recipe-694545

Ingredients
· 2 large egg whites (freeze yolks if not making something immediately that uses them)
· 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
· 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
· 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
· 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
· 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 cup sugar
· 3 teaspoons water
Instructions
1) Write fortunes on pieces of paper hat are 3 ½ inches long and ½ inches wide.
2) Preheat oven to 150 c. Grease 2 9 x 13 inch baking sheets.
3) In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg white, vanilla extract, almond extract, and vegetable oil until frothy but not stiff.
4) Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, and sugar in a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
5) Add the flour to the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny but should drop easily off a wooden spoon.
6) Place a level tablespoon of batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Gently tilt the baking sheet back and forth and form side to side so that each tablespoon of batter forms into a circle 4 inches in diameter. 7) Bake until the outer ½-inch of each cookie turns golden brown, and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (14 to 15 minutes)
8) Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand.
9) Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie.
10) To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.
