Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.Prepare Your Fortunes:
Write your fortunes on small pieces of white paper, each measuring 6cm long and 1cm wide. Set them aside.Whisk the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, use an electric whisk to combine:- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp grapeseed oil
- ½ tbsp cold water
Whisk until the mixture becomes frothy, about 30 seconds.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix together:- 100g plain flour
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 100g golden caster sugar
Add a good pinch of salt, then sift this mixture into the egg white mixture. Whisk until you achieve a smooth batter.
Chill the Batter:
Cover the bowl with cling film and chill the batter in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This helps the cookies hold their shape.Shape the Cookies:
On the prepared baking sheet, place ½ tbsp of the batter. Using a small palette knife, spread the mixture into a thin circle, about 8cm in diameter. Repeat to make a second cookie, ensuring there's enough space between them since they'll spread.Bake the Cookies:
Bake two cookies at a time for 8 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Be ready to shape them while they're hot.Form the Fortune Cookies:
- Use a palette knife to carefully lift each cookie from the baking sheet and flip it over onto a cutting board.
- Place a fortune in the center of the cookie, then fold it in half, pinching the edges to seal.
- To shape, gently lift the folded cookie onto the rim of a mug or pan and pull the two corners down. Hold for about 10 seconds to set the shape.
Cool the Cookies:
Transfer the shaped cookies into a muffin tin to help them hold their shape while they cool.Decorate with Chocolate:
- Melt 150g of chopped white chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water.
- Prepare small bowls with sprinkles for decoration.
- Dip the ends of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then dip into the sprinkles.
Let Them Set:
Place the decorated cookies on a board to dry. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
