📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cut out 30 strips of paper for the fortunes, about 2 ½ inches by ½ inch, and write a message on each one.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg whites, peppermint extract, and salt until the egg whites are frothy, ⏱️ 30 seconds to ⏱️ 1 minute. Add in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Stir in the flour and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Add 1 or 2 drops of green food coloring, if you like.

3
If the baking sheets are lined with parchment paper, dab some batter underneath the corners of the paper to help it adhere to the baking sheet.
4
Using a measuring spoon, scoop 2 (1-tablespoon) portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread each into a 4-inch circle. Only bake 2 cookies at a time, as they set up quickly.
5
Bake the cookies, one baking sheet at a time, until lightly golden on the edges, 7 to ⏱️ 9 minutes.
6
Working quickly, use a spatula to flip the cookies over. Place one paper fortune in the center of each cookie. Fold the cookie in half to form a half-moon shape. Then, using the rim of a cup, press the folded side of the cookie over the rim to form a fortune cookie shape.
7
Meanwhile, place the second baking sheet with 2 portions of batter into the oven and repeat the baking and folding process. When the first baking sheet is cool, scoop 2 more (1-tablespoon) scoops of batter onto the cooled baking sheet. Continue cycling the baking sheets into the oven with more portioned batter until all the batter is used.
8
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
