Title: Giant Fortune Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
– ⅓ cup granulated sugar
– ⅓ cup brown sugar
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ¼ cup vegetable oil
– 2 large egg whites
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and cornstarch. This will help your giant fortune cookies achieve that perfect light and crispy texture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Add the vegetable oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
4. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency.
5. Using a large spoon, drop 3 tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently spread the batter into a thin, even circle about 6 inches in diameter. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
7. Once baked, working quickly and gently, use a flat spatula to lift the cookie off the baking sheet. Place a pre-cut strip of paper with your personalized message in the center of the cookie. Fold the cookie in half over the message, then gently bend the cookie over the edge of a glass or a muffin tin to set its signature shape. Allow to cool and harden for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Enjoy the delight of cracking open these Giant Fortune Cookies to reveal your special messages!
