Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3 egg whites
3/4 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 c. flour
1 tbsp. instant tea powder
2 tbsp. water

Combine ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition. Chill 20 minutes. Make cookies 2 at a time. On greased cookie sheet, drop a spoonful of dough for each cookie. It is very important to spread dough very thin with back of spoon to about 3 inch diameter. Bake about 5 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each cookie. Fold cookie in half enclosing fortune, to form a semi-circle.

Grasp rounded edges of semi-circle between thumb and forefinger on one hand. Place forefinger of other hand at center of folded edge, and push in, making certain solid sides of cookie puff out. Place each cookie in small size muffin tin, open edges up, until cookie is set. Store in airtight container.

Beforehand: Cut some paper into 2 inch x 1/2 inch strips. Type or write fortunes on them, to insert in cookies.
