Darlene Markel's devised a lucky way to greet the seasonwith her holiday fortune cookies! I make regular fortune cookies, then tuck yuletide wishes inside. They make a fun dessert for a Christmas party, she pens from Sublimity, Oregon. Ingredients:
12 strips of green and red glossy paper (about 5-1/2 inches x 1/2 inch) |
nontoxic black marker |
2 egg whites |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup cake flour |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Print Christmas carol titles or other holiday wishes on paper strips with marker; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add sugars; beat well. Stir in the flour, oil, butter, vanilla and salt until smooth.
3. Drop 6 tablespoonfuls, about 3 in. apart, onto a greased and floured baking sheet. With the back of spoon, spread each into a 3-1/2-in. circle. (Bake only six cookies at a time.) Bake at 300° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. Loosen cookies from baking sheet. Bake 1 minute longer to soften. Remove one cookie at a time, leaving others in the oven (cookies must be warm to shape). Slowly fold cookie in half; insert a fortune. Fold in half again, bringing points together. Place in muffin cups to cool and hold shape. Repeat with remaining cookies. Yield: 1 dozen.
