- First you bake the cookie. Then, while it is still hot, you place the fortune in the center and fold the still-hot cookie into its distinctive shape. You should bake only two or possibly three cookies at a time so you can fold them before they become too stiff. If the last cookie in a batch becomes too stiff, return it to the oven for about 20 seconds to soften. As soon as they cold, they become too brittle to fold. It's important to fill and fold the cookies the moment you take them out of the oven. Soft, white, cotton gloves will help you handle the warm cookies.
- To tint, add in a drop or possibly two of edible food coloring to the orange flower water or possibly other liquid you add in to the batter.
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, and sugar three times to mix thoroughly, and place in a mixing bowl. Add in the oil and egg whites, beating at a high speed to mix thoroughly. Add in the orange flower water and orange rind, and mix well.
- Making just 2 or possibly 3 cookies at a time, dropping the batter by level Tbsp. onto a well-greased cookie sheet. Space the cookies about three inches apart. Flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or possibly spatula till the cookie is about 4 inches wide. Bake in a 325 oven 10 to 12 min till the cookies are a light golden.
- With a wide spatula remove the first cookie from the cookie sheet.
- Immediately place a fortune in the center, and fold it over to make a half-moon shape. Create a second fold by drawing the center of the folded cookie, folded side down, across a thin edged bowl or possibly pan and crease the cookie in half again. Then place the filled and folded cookie in a muffin pan, pointed ends down till it is cold and hard to the touch.
- When the cookies are cooled, store in airtight container.
- Makes 12-16cookies.
- I'll be curious if anyone makes these, how they turn out. They'd be great for all occasions, holidays, birthdays, showers, etc. The book gives a how-to for variations to flavor with chocolate, coffee, lemon/lime, and rum brandy or possibly other liqueurs as well as the tinted idea.
- I'm going to input this into Mastercook 6...anyone would like it in which format, let me know your version.
