1 1/2 doz. paper fortunes (2 1/2x1/2")
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Dash of salt
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. almond extract
2 egg whites

Prepare paper fortunes. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon batter onto well greased cookie sheet; spread into 3 1/2 inch circle with back of spoon. Bake only 4 cookies t a time; cool cookie sheet and grease well each time. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Working quickly, remove 1 cookie at a time with wide spatula; flip into protected hand (leave remaining cookies in oven).

Place paper fortune on center of cookie; fold cookie in half. Holding points of folded cookie with both hands, place center of fold over edge of bowl and pull points downward to make a crease across center. Place cookie in ungreased muffin cup so it will hold its shape while cooling. If cookie cools before it is formed, head in oven about 1 minute. Store in tightly covered container.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
