Valentine’s Day Fortune Cookies
Do you love someone? Great. You can celebrate Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is one of my absolute favorite holidays of the year, despite ever having a significant other to spend it with. I have family, friends, and animals that I love with my very whole heart and I love to recognize them and show them the love that I have for them on that day. Every year, I make my friends and family a sweets box, and this year I knew I had to make fortune cookies. These were so incredibly simple and took no time to make at all.

Valentine’s Day Fortune Cookies
Show somebody you love them with these adorable, pink fortune cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup sugar add more if you want a sweeter cookie
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 2 T water
- 2-3 drops pink food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Whip your egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Add the flour and sugar to your egg whites. Combine.
- Stir in the water, vanilla extract, and food coloring.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and use the back of a spoon to form a circle. I recommend only doing 2-3 cookies on a baking sheet so that you have time to fold each one before they start to cool and dry.
- Bake for 3-5 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. I found that my first batch was able to go for the full 5 minutes, but as the oven and baking sheet got hotter over time, the next batches would cook in about 3 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and use a metal spatula to carefully lift the cookie off of the sheet. Place your fortune onto the circle, fold the circle in half, and then place the bottom of the half-circle over the rim of a glass so that it forms into a fortune cookie. I'll link a video below!
- Let it cool in a muffin tin or something else that will help it keep it's circle form.
