Gluten Free Fortune Cookies
Gluten free fortune cookies are super easy and fun to make. With inspiring & funny messages inside, they'll bring a smile to everyone's face.
Ingredients
- ½ cup gluten free flour blend (I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites (from two eggs)
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- handwritten or printed fortunes on 6 cm by 1.5 cm pieces of paper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar, egg whites, water and vanilla. The fortune cookie batter will be pretty watery.
- Use a small spoon to scoop about one tablespoon of the batter onto the baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to spread out the batter into a thin circle. Repeat to form a total of four thin circles of batter.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are a deep golden color and feel dry to the touch.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and working quickly but carefully, place a paper fortune in the center of a circle. Fold the circle in half, leaving the center puffed up (don't flatten it). Then pinch the two ends together to form a crease in the center.
- Quickly repeat with the other 3 cookies. They need to be folded and shaped while they're still hot. If they cool after about a minute, they'll harden and break when you try to fold them. But be careful not to burn your fingers!
- Continue the process with the remaining batter, baking in small batches to have enough time to form the cookies while they're still hot. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Leave your cookies in the oven until they develop a deep golden color. If they're underbaked, the paper fortunes will stick to the inside of the cookies. And they won't be as crispy when they cool.
- The cookies are very hot to handle when forming them into the traditional fortune cookie shape, so be careful! If you wait for them to cool, they'll be too brittle to shape and they'll break.
