4 egg whites
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. melted butter
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. water

Write prayer requests on small strips of paper and fold them into small pieces.

Mix sugar into the egg whites and blend until fluffy. Melt the butter and let cool to room temperature. Add flour, salt, vanilla, water, and butter to the sugar mixture. Beat until the batter is smooth. Grease a cookie sheet. Pour batter from a spoon to form 3-inch circles.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. Lay a prayer request on each circle, fold it into thirds, then bend it gently in the center. If the cookies get too hard to bend, put them back in the oven for a minute.
