Last week I shared an idea about playing with your food. This week
I'm giving you a recipe for making giant fortune cookies. With a
regular sized fortune cookie you can hide a tiny love note or a ring. With
a giant fortune cookie you can insert an entire love letter, a necklace
or other romantic item. Best of fortunes to you and your sweetheart.
GIANT FORTUNE COOKIES
1 cup-all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup salad oil
½ cup egg whites (whites of about 4 large eggs)
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons vanilla
Prepare fortune, poem or note to include in cookies. Cut or fold the
paper so it is approximately 1" x 3" in size.
Mix all the dry ingredients and then add oil and egg whites until smooth;
beat in water and vanilla.
Drop 1/3 cup of batter onto a greased baking sheet and spread evenly
into a 10-inch circle. Bake only one or two at a time in a 300 degree
oven for about 14 minutes or until light golden brown; if underbaked,
cookies will tear during shaping.
With a wide spatula, remove one cookie at a time from oven.
Working quickly, flip it onto a your hand (please use a towel or wear
cotton gloves). Place fortune in center of cookie and fold it in half,
but do not crease it. Then fold the two ends towards each other and
hold for a minute or two while it hardens. Repeat until all
the batter is used. Makes 6. (for an extra special treat, dip the ends
of the cookies in melted chocolate, then put in the fridge to harden)
