Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 70g plain flour
- 80g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- Pinch of salt
- 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed)
- 60g dark chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut (optional, for garnish)
- Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Cut small strips of paper and write your personalized fortunes.
- Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking sheet with a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper.
- Whisk egg whites, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until frothy but not stiff.
- Mix plain flour, caster sugar, cornflour, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg white mixture, stirring until smooth. Add water if needed.
- Place 1 tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin circle.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Working quickly, place a fortune strip in the center of each cookie while still hot.
- Fold the cookie in half to form a semi-circle, then shape it over a muffin tin to create the classic shape.
- Place the shaped cookies in a muffin tin to cool completely.
- Melt the dark chocolate and dip half of each fortune cookie into it.
- Sprinkle with desiccated coconut or chosen toppings while chocolate is still wet.
- Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set completely.
Notes
- Work quickly with shaping and baking as fortune cookies harden rapidly as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain crispness.
