Diana Yen's Matcha & Sesame Fortune Cookies
Makes 30 cookies
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- ½ cup (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 large egg whites
- 1½ cup superfine sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons ground black sesame seeds
method
- Print or write fortunes on 2 x ½ inch strips of paper.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spray a baking sheet liberally with non-stick spray
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg whites and sugar on a medium speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add the flour and salt and beat until incorporated.
- Add the melted butter, cream, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water and beat until incorporated.
- Dive the batter between two separate bowls. Add the match powder to one bowl and the ground black sesame seeds to the other. Stir to combine.
- Pour a tablespoon of the matcha batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it with the back of a spoon into a thin circle. Repeat with the remaining matcha batter, followed by the black sesame batter. Leave 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake the cookies on the middle oven rack for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges slightly darken. Remove from the oven.
- Use an offset spatula to lift up the first cookie, and place a fortune in the center of the cookie. Using your fingers or the end of a wooden spoon, fold the cookie in half a pinch together to form a loose semicircle. Carefully bend the two open ends of the cookie toward each other. Place the cookie in a small bowl or muffin tin and allow it to set for 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining cookies. The cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
