Fortune Cookies
Ingredients:
2 large Egg Whites
1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Pure Almond Extract
3 Tbs. Vegetable Oil
8 Tbs. All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
1/4 tsp Salt
8 Tbs Granulated Sugar
3 tsp Water
Directions:
Write fortunes on pieces of paper that are 3 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease pan. (Cookie sheet or 9x13 pan).
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg white, vanilla extract, almond extract and vegetable oil until frothy, but not stiff.
Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, and sugar into a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
Add the flour into the egg white and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny, but should drop easily off a wooden spoon. (If you want to dye the fortune cookies, add food coloring now.)
Place level tablespoons of batter onto pan, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Gently tilt the baking sheet back and forth and from side to side so that each tablespoon of batter forms into a circle 4 inches in diameter.
Bake until the outer 1/2 inch of each cookie turns golden brown and they are easy to remove from baking sheet with a spatula. (10-12 minutes)
Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand. Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie. To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of a muffin tin so that it keeps it's shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.

Caramelized onion and bacon dip
- 4 bacon strips, chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pounds yellow onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
- For serving: potato chips, celery, carrots, or other raw vegetables
- In a small skillet, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered out. Drain bacon, reserving the fat in the pan.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and salt. Cook onions over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and deep golden in color, about 1 hour. Add water if needed. Add the vinegar in the last minute of cooking. Cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onions, and bacon.
- Add vegetable oil to the skillet with bacon fat. Reheat on medium-high until the oil shimmers. Add the shallots, lower the heat, and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain, and garnish dip with fried shallots.
