Easy Giant Fortune Cookie
Ingredients:
– 2 egg whites
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Parchment paper
– Small piece of paper for the fortune
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This may take a few minutes, but keep whisking until you get that perfect fluffy texture.
3. Gradually add in the sugar while continuing to whisk the egg whites. The mixture should be shiny and smooth.
4. Gently fold in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much – we want to keep that airy texture.
5. Sift in the flour and gently fold it into the egg white mixture until well combined. The batter should be thick but still easy to spread.
6. Using a spatula, spread the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in a large circle, about 10 inches in diameter. Try to make it as even as possible to ensure even baking.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The center may still look slightly soft, but it will continue to cook as it cools.
8. Remove the giant fortune cookie from the oven and quickly place your fortune in the center. Fold the cookie in half, gently pressing the edges together to seal. If the cookie is too hot to touch, you can use gloves or a kitchen towel.
9. Carefully transfer the giant fortune cookie to a wire rack to cool completely. As it cools, it will become crispy and firm, making it easier to handle.
10. Once cooled, you can decorate your giant fortune cookie with drizzles of melted chocolate, sprinkles, or edible glitter for an extra touch of fun. Let your creativity shine!
