Ingredients

• 1 eggwhite
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 40g butter, melted
• 1/3 cup plain flour

Method

• Step 1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Get the kids to write fortune messages to enclose in cookies on 0.5cm-wide, 5cm-long pieces of paper. Using a balloon whisk, whisk eggwhite, sugar, vanilla and salt in a bowl until well combined and thick. Slowly add butter, whisking constantly until well combined.
• Step 2 Sift flour over egg mixture. Using a large metal spoon, stir until flour is well combined and mixture is smooth.
• Step 3 Bake 3 cookies at a time by spooning 1 teaspoon mixture per cookie onto a prepared tray. Spread thinly using the back of a metal spoon. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
• Step 4 Remove tray from oven. Working quickly, remove warm cookies using a wide spatula and place upside down on a wooden board. Place a message along the centre of each cookie. Fold cookies in half to enclose message and bend to form a horseshoe shape. Place cookies, edges pointed down, into mini muffin pan holes (this will retain cookie shape). Allow to cool completely in pan. Repeat with remaining mixture.
