  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      Tablespoons   Light Brown Sugar
     1/4  Cup           Sugar
   2      Large         Egg White
   2      Tablespoons   Canola Oil
     1/4  Teaspoon      Vanilla Extract -- pure
   2      Drops         Yellow Food Coloring -- optional
     1/3  Cup           Plus
   1      Tablespoon    Flour, All-Purpose
     1/4  Teaspoon      Almond Extract
                        Non-Stick Vegetable-Oil Spray
  24                    Paper Fortune Strips -- 2 1/4 x 1/2 inch
                         -- with fortunes

1) In medium bowl, press brown sugar with back of spoon to remove all 
lumps. Add granulated sugar, egg whites, oil, vanilla, and almond 
extracts, and food coloring, if using, and whisk until blended. Sift in 
flour and whisk until smooth. Let batter stand for 20 minutes.

2) Meanwhile, preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly coat baking sheet with 
non-stick cooking spray. Spoon 1 measuring tablespoon of batter onto 
prepared sheet. With back of spoon, spread batter to 3 inch circle with 
even thickness. Repeat 3 more times on sheet. Place a muffin pan nearby.

3) Bake in 350 degree oven until golden around the edges, about 5 minutes. 
Coat spatula with non-stick cooking spray and loosen cookies immediately 
from sheet. Remove 1 cookie to work surface. (Return baking sheet with 
remaining cookies to oven to keep them soft, keeping oven door open.) Flip 
one cookie over, lay fortune paper in center, and fold cookie in half over 
fortune. Fold cookie in half again, bending on straight edge to form 
traditional fortune cookie shape. Place in muffin pan cup to hold shape 
and cool. Repeat with remaining 3 cookies.

4) Cool baking sheet, wipe clean, and coat with cooking spray. Repeat with 
remaining batter and fortune papers. Store cooled cookies in airtight 
container for up to a week.
