I have two fortune cookie recipes that I like. Here is one, which is
adapted from: _Gingerbread: 99 Delicious Recipes From Sweet to Savory_.

These are crisper than the traditional fortune cookie and also a lot
tastier.

Type out the fortunes, then cut each into a thin strip 4.5 – 5 inches long.
Preheat the oven to 325 F. Grease the baking sheets. Whisk together egg
whites, granulated sugar, and honey. Whisk in salt, ginger, cinnamon, and
nutmeg, then the butter. Beat or whisk in the flour just until mixed. Use
no more than a level tablespoon for each cookie or they’ll be too large.
Drop the cookies at least 3″ apart onto the baking sheet. Using the back of
a spoon or a butter knife, spread the cookies out to form even 3″-diameter
circles. Bake the sheets (5 or 6 cookies per sheet) at 5 minute intervals.
Bake 10 minutes until cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Remove
the sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 10
seconds, until you can slip a spatula under one without tearing it apart.
You now need to work very quickly. Remove one cookie and place it top side
down on your counter. Lay a fortune across the center, sticking out on one
side. Fold the cookie over the fortune, then quickly push the ends of the
flat side toward each other to form the traditional fortune cookie shape.
Form the rest of the baked cookies, then place them on a rack to cool.

INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS:
1. Write different fortunes on 12 strips of paper.

2. Separate 1 egg.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets.

4. Put into medium size bowl: 1 egg white and 1/4 cup sugar.

5. Add and mix 1 tablespoon water, 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.

6. Add and stir 1/3 cup flour and dash salt.

7. Drop teaspoonsful of batter into greased cookie sheets.

8. Swirl the batter around with the back of a spoon until cookies are very thinly spread and almost transparent.

9. Bake 5-7 minutes until lightly browned at edges.

10. Take cookies off quickly and have others fold with fortunes inside. Fold in half and then fold again.

INGREDIENTS:
1 egg white
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 c. butter

DIRECTIONS:
Combine unbeaten egg white and sugar in a small 1 quart bowl and mix well until all sugar is dissolved. Stir in, one at a time, the other dry ingredients; then beat until well blended.
Melt butter in a small 1 quart bowl in microwave oven, 15 seconds. Remove from oven and beat batter into the butter.

Drop by teaspoonfuls, well apart, onto a lightly greased baking dish. Microwave at FULL POWER, 3 minutes. (9-12 cookies can bake a once.) Let stand only one minute because it is necessary to curl cookie while warm. The top of the cookie will be the outside and the underneath part will be folded inward with the message. Repeat for the next batch. Makes 1 to 1 1/2 dozen.
