Vanilla-Ginger Fortune Cookies

Vanilla-Ginger Fortune Cookies
 
If you've never made fortune cookies from scratch, then you are missing out on an experience which is equal parts dessert and activity. A thin batter is spread onto a cookie sheet, then baked for 5 minutes. Once removed from the oven, you've got less than ten seconds to toss in a custom-created fortune (oh! The fun you can have with these!), fold, twist and pinch the cookies together before they begin to harden. Thin, wafer-like little cookies result. 3 egg whites
3/4 c. Powdered sugar
1/2 c. White flour
2 T. Butter
1/2 tsp. Pure vanilla
1 drop Doterra Ginger Essential Oil (optional)
 
Mix all ingredients together until very smooth. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons onto a cookie sheet (covered in parchment is best), spread with a flat knife until you've created very thin circles of batter. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, or just until the edges turn brown. Remove from the oven and immediately put a fortune in the center of each cookie. Fold in half, twist backward, pinch gently in the center to close. Allow to cool, uncovered for 1-2 hours. Cookies will harden as they air dry.
