Our Test Kitchen staff came up with these sweet Valentine treats. Tuck a written sentiment inside...and share the tasty homemade fortune cookies with your loved ones on that special day. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
2 ounces white candy coating |
red sprinkles, optional |
Directions:
1. Write fortunes on 10 strips of paper (5-in. x 3/4-in.): fold in half. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw two 5-in. circles on the parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg whites and extracts. Add flour; mix well. Spread 2 tablespoons of batter over each circle. Bake at 400° for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Working with one cookie at a time, remove carefully from pan using a thin spatula (cover other cookie with clean kitchen towel to keep warm). Place a fortune in the center of cookie; fold cookie in half over fortune strip so that the edges meet. Press edges together for 3 seconds. Place center of cookie over rim of a glass; gently press ends down to bend cookie in half. Let cookie cool on glass for 1 minute, then remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining cookie. If cookies become too cool to fold, return to oven to soften for 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Top with sprinkles if desired. Yield: 10 cookies.
