Ingredients:


2 egg whites
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
3 tbsp Oil

8 tbsp Plain Flour
1 and 1/2 tbsp Corn Starch(i used corn flour)
A pinch salt
4 tbsp Sugar
3 tsp water

Method:



     Write Fortunes on a peace of Paper and Pre Heat the Oven to 180 degree c.



    Draw 8cm circles on the baking Paper.You can use a glass to draw the circle.



Add the eggs,vanilla extract,almond extract and oil in a mixing bowl and whisk until just frothy,not stiff.

     Using spoon,spread 1 tsp of mixture over each circle.



            Bake for 5 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges.



Wear cotton gloves,because you have to work fast with the hot cookies.Remove cookies from paper,using knife.Place written fortune message in each cookie.



        Fold the cookie in half and press the corners.Do it fast,otherwise they will harden too quickly and break when folding.



                                             Join the two edges.
