         Title: Valentine's Fortune Cookies   
    Categories: Cookies, Novelties, Citrus   
         Yield: 12 servings   
       
         2    Egg whites; room temp   
         1 ts Pure Vanilla extract   
         1 tb Fresh squeezed Lemon Juice   
         3 tb Oil; neutral   
       1/2 c  (4 oz/112 g) A-P Flour   
       1/2 c  (4 oz/112 g) Sugar   
     1 1/2 ts Cornstarch   
       1/4 ts Salt   
         2 ts Water   
              Pink or red food coloring   
       
     Line your best quality baking sheets with parchment   
     paper. You can also just use Silpat or just a nonstick   
     baking sheet with a little spray.   
        
     In a medium sized bowl, add the egg whites, vanilla,   
     lemon juice, vegetable oil and water.   
        
     Whisk until the eggs are frothy (not stiff) about 20 sec.   
        
     Sift in the flour, sugar, cornflour and salt. Whisk in   
     the dry ingredients until all incorporated and you have   
     a smooth batter with no lumps   
        
     Divide the batter in half ( or thirds/ fourths) and dye   
     how you like.   
        
     If you're going to get fancy with decorating, put into   
     squeeze bottles. These would be just as cute just solid   
     in different colors without the hearts and such.   
        
     Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, however you can make it   
     a few days in advance and it will keep just fine.   
        
     Make your fortunes to fill the cookies.   
        
     WHEN YOUR BATTER IS CHILLED: Measure out 1 tbsp batter   
     for each cookie, and with the back of a spoon, spread   
     out thinly to 4 1/2 inch diameter both ways. Only work on   
     and bake 2 cookies at a time. The final assembling is   
     time sensitive, don't overwhelm yourself with more than   
     2 cookies.   
        
     For hearts-with a contrasting color, squeeze on dots.   
     Take a toothpick and start a little bit above the dot   
     and drag it through the dot to create a tail. Just polka   
     dots are cute too.   
        
     Get creative and make any design or color you want.   
        
     Bake @ 325oF/165oC.   
        
     Pop the 2 cookies in the oven for ROUGHLY 12 minutes.   
     Keep a close eye in them, every oven is different.   
        
     The cookies are done when the outer edge is golden brown   
     and releases easily from paper or pan.   
        
     This next part is time sensitive!! you need to work very   
     quickly and book it!!   
        
     Pull the cookies out of the oven, release the cookie by   
     running a spatula underneath it. Flip them over and   
     place the fortune in the middles.   
        
     Fold in half. crimp, folded side down, edges up, over a   
     coffee cup.   
        
     Place in a muffin tin while cookies cool so they keep   
     their shape.   
        
     NOTE: If your cookie goes hard while you are moulding   
     the other, don't worry! Pop it back in the oven for a   
     minute to warm and soften it.   
        
     You can make them up to 3 days in advance, after that   
     the cookies might go a little soft. Remember when making   
     these that they are a labor of love, a little finicky   
     but well worth it. :)   
        
     RECIPE NOTES: Make up to 2 days in advance and store in   
     an air tight container at room temperature.
