Directions

1. If you are putting in custom fortunes, make sure they are printed and cut before you start on the cookies. Preheat oven to 300 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats. Also set aside two muffin pans.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the egg white, vanilla extract, almond extract, and vegetable oil until frothy.
3. Sift the flour, cornstarch, and sugar into a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
4. Add the flour into the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny, but should drop easily off a wooden spoon.
5. Place 1 tablespoon of batter onto the cookie sheet. using the back of the back of a spoon, gently make circular motions on the surface of the batter to form circle about 3.5” diameters. Repeat with remaining batter, spacing cookies 3 inches apart.
6. Bake about 14-15 minutes until the outer 1/2-inch of each cookie turns golden brown and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula.
7. Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand.
8. Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie. To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass.
9. Place the finished cookie in a muffin tin so that it keeps its shape while it cools. Continue with the rest of the cookies.
10. While cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate in the microwave.
11. Heat for about 30 seconds. Then stir with a spoon.
12. Heat for another 30 seconds. Stir again until chocolate is smooth.
13. Add in coconut flavored oil. Start with 1/4 tsp and taste. If coconut is not strong enough, add a few more drops. Stir to make sure coconut oil is spread throughout the melted chocolate.
14. Take one end of fortune cookie and dip into chocolate. Then place on a piece of parchment paper.
15. Sprinkle on pearls before chocolate dries. Repeat with remaining fortune cookies.
16. Let chocolate completely solidify before removing cookies and placing in airtight container.
