Open, read the mass produced 'fortune,' and leave the the fatty sugar shells behind.

My bf and I first time we had Chinese food we had the same fortune.
Yeah. Coincidence but still a little freaky. Something like remain on the path you are on it leads to happiness or some bs like that.
Might eat a nibble of cookie but as someone else said. It is usually stale.

(22,756 posts)Ingredients:
Servings:
10-12
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1
You will also need: 2 1/2 x 1/2-inch fortune strips.
2
Preheat oven to 350°F.
3
Grease a cookie sheet thoroughly.
4
Whip the egg whites on low speed until light and foamy.
5
Blend in the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
6
Pour in the melted butter, flour, salt, and extracts; mix until well combined.
7
Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
8
Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly into very thin 3-inch rounds.
9
Alternatively, use the lid of a jar with a 3-inch circle punched out as a template, pour the batter in the ring, and remove.
10
Because you must work quickly to shape these cookies, bake just 3 at a time.
11
Bake for about 5-8 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color.
12
Remove the cookies with a spatula and place on a work surface.
13
Lay a fortune in the lower middle of the cookie, and fold in half to make a semi-circle.
14
Bend the edges up toward each other to make a crescent.
15
Drag the crease across the rim of a small measuring cup, with the ends facing down.
16
Cool in mini muffin tins to hold shape until crisp.
17
Repeat with remaining batter

(11,362 posts)... improperly folded fortune cookies from Chinese bakeries when I was a kid. I really like the cookie part - very crunchy, not too sweet, great with tea or fruit or ice cream.

(38,002 posts)Love the taste but now I find the amount of cookie too overwhelming and will only occasionally take a nibble. I still totally break them open to get at the fortune though.
