Fortune Cookies

Prep. Time : 10 Mins
Baking Time : 25 Mins
Difficulty : Easy
Servings : 20 Cookies
Necessary :
* 4 Large Egg Whites
* 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
* 6 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
* 175g All Purpose White Flour
* 375g Granulated Sugar
* 1 Teaspoon Cornflour
* 1 Teaspoon Salt
* 6 Teaspoons Water

Preparation :
Preheat the oven to 150˚C/Gas 2/300˚F and grease a wide baking sheet . Write and cut out your own customised fortunes on little strips of paper about 10cm by 1cm and set aside . Using a whisk , beat the egg whites in a large bowl with the oil , and vanilla extract . Beat them until they become thick , but not stiff . Sieve in the flour and cornflour . Add the sugar , salt and water and mix through the egg whites . Combine thoroughly until you have no lumps and bumps . Place 4 level tablespoon of the mix evenly spaced on the baking sheet . I find working with four discs at a time to be the easiest . Distribute the mix evenly by tilting the tray until you get a nice wide disc around 10cm in diameter . Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes , or until the cookies go a light golden brown colour around the edges . Working quickly - remove one disc from the baking sheet , place the fortune in the center and gently fold in half . Bend the two ends of the disc over the rim of a glass and hold in position for 20 seconds until it cools . Repeat the process until you get through all the cookie mix .

Mix the flour , sugar , salt and cardamom in a large mixing bowl . Make a well and pour the wet ingredients in . Using a wooden spoon mix until you have a rough dough . When the dough has taken shape and is no longer sticky , turn out onto a clean floured surface and knead for about 6 minutes . Dust with a little flour if you find the dough is too sticky . Transfer the dough to a floured bowl , covered by cling film and a towel and let it rise for 45 minutes in a warm dark place . Preheat the oven to 220°C . To prepare the filling , in a bowl , beat the butter , sugar and cinnamon together until you have a smooth paste . When the dough has risen , punch it down in the bowl and cut it in half .  Roll one of the halves into a rectangle about 3mm thick , and then spread the filling all over . Then , from the long side , roll the dough so you get a snail effect and slice into approx 12 pieces . Place the slices in a non stick mini pie tray with six holes , (you could also lay them flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper) face up and coat with the beaten egg . Sprinkle the buns with pearl sugar . Reduce the heat to 190˚C and then bake the rolls in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown .

* 0,5 Cup Brandy
* 1,5 Cups Flour
* 3 Tablespoons Dutch Process Cocoa
* 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
* 0,75 Tablespoon Baking Soda
* 0,5 Tablespoon Coarse Salt
* 0,5 Cup softened Butter
* 0,5 Bup Brown Sugar
* 0,5 Cup Honey
* 8 Oz 70% Chopped Dark Chocolate
* 1 Cup Cinnamon Sugar

Preparation :

Pre-heat the oven to 325 F

  In a saucepan, bring the brandy and the raisins to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for 20 minutes until cool. Meanwhile, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until it's light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl, and then add the honey. Continue mixing until it's creamy.

  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, 1 tsp of cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and stir on low speed until it's combined.

  Drain your brandy soaked raisins and add them, along with the chocolate pieces. Give a good stir so they are even throughout.

  Now, the original recipe says to line your pans with parchment, but I ran out at the last moment so I just put them right on the pan. I have good pans, so I wasn't worried. You can decide. They don't stick.

  In a bowl, stir together the 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and set yourself up, assembly line style with the dough, cinnamon sugar, and a cookie sheet.

  Scoop your dough out in 2 scant tbsps. Hold in your hand over the bowl of sugar and douse them with it. Roll into a ball, then in the sugar again. You really want to make sure that they are well coated. Continue, placing the cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

  Bake in the center of the oven for about 18-22 minutes until just set and the tops are starting to crack. Let cool on the sheets for about a minute before removing to a rack and allowing to cool completely.
