Inspired by this virtual fortune cookie, I set about looking for how to make real Chinese fortune cookies. Here is a great recipe I found:

Ingredient List:

1 medium egg white.
1/4 cup of sugar.
1/3 cup of flour.
2 tablespoons of melted butter.
1 tablespoon of water.
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla.

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Grease cookie sheets.

In a suitably sized bowl, add the egg white, sugar, butter, water and vanilla; mix together.

Add flour and stir.

Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets.

Swirl the batter around with a spoon back until cookies are spread thinly and are close to transparent.

Bake for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned on edges.

Remove from the oven and quickly place a fortune in the cookie, then fold in half, then in half again, making the classic fortune cookie shape.

Allow to cool.
