Fortune Cookies

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 300 degrees.

2. Combine flour, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl.

3. Add oil, egg whites, extract and water to dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.

4. Line a cookie sheet with foil; butter foil, or spray with nonstick vegetable coating.

5. Drop level teaspoons (no more) of batter onto the cookie sheet, no more than 6 to a sheet.

6. Spread evenly to a 4-inch diameter.

7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown lightly.

8. Remove from the oven and immediately remove 1 cookie with a broad spatula.

9. Place a fortune in the center, fold in half and press back against ledge of counter or muffin pan to form fortune cookie shape.

10. Set cookies in muffin tin to keep their shape until cool.

Continue with the rest of the cookies without delay, as they harden fairly rapidly. If the cookies become too brittle to fold, return to oven for 2 to 3 minutes and try again. Repeat process with remaining batter.
