Fortune cookies

Step 1

Melt the butter and add the lemon zest to it. In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, vanilla, powdered sugar.

Step 2

Separately, lightly beat the egg whites, then add the dry ingredients, melted butter and mix.

Step 3

Carefully pour the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment and spread in the form of circles with a diameter of 8-10 centimeters.

Step 4

Bake at 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes (as soon as the edges start to brown — the dough is ready!).

Step 5

Then very quickly, putting the fortune inside, wrap the cookies — first fold in half, pinch the edges, then fold the cookies against the side of a glass or plate.

Step 6

Allow to set for 1 hour.

It's best to start small — bake, for example, just two cookies and practice. To keep the cookies from unfolding, place them in the bottom of a cup or glass. Cookies can be made in any shape.
