Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Large Egg Whites
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Pound Butter -- melted
1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 Teaspoon Almond Extract
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour -- sifted
2 Tablespoons Water

Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time,
the butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20
minutes.Preheat to 350 deg. Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop
slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of thick batter for each cookie onto a
lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the
back of the spoon, making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for
5 minutes., or until the edges begin to brown lightly. Remove to a
wire rack. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each
cookie. Fold opposite sides together, crease crosswise at the center
of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend backward for
the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or small glasses to hold
shape. Makes about 4 dozen.
