• ✓ paper fortune
• white sugar
• egg white
• milk
• butter
• vanilla extract
• almond extract
• salt
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Print and cut out 3-inch wide paper fortunes.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
3. 3 Whisk sugar, egg white, milk, butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add flour; whisk until batter is smooth and falls off the whisk in ribbons.
4. 4 Scoop 1 tablespoon batter onto the prepared baking sheet; spread into a 4-inch circle using the back of a spoon. Repeat once more.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on the edges and still pale in the centers, about 10 minutes.
6. 6 Working quickly, lift 1 cookie using a spatula; add a fortune. Fold cookie in half, pressing edges together lightly. Bend long side cookie in half over rim of the baking sheet, pulling ends down on either side. Curl ends towards each other to form a brim. Place cookie in a ramekin or muffin tin to hold its shape while cooling. Working quickly, repeat with second cookie.
7. 7 Repeat scooping and baking with remaining batter, working in batches of 2 cookies per batch, folding and shaping cookies while hot. Remove from ramekins or muffin tins when completely cool.
