  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      Large         Egg Whites
     3/4  Cup           Sugar
     1/8  Teaspoon      Salt
     1/4  Pound         Butter -- melted
     1/4  Teaspoon      Vanilla
     1/4  Teaspoon      Almond Extract
   1      Cup           All-Purpose Flour -- sifted
   2      Tablespoons   Water

  Combine egg whites, sugar & salt. Beat in, one ingredient at a time,
  the butter, extracts, flour & water. Blend thoroughly & chill for 20
  minutes.Preheat to 350 deg. Do just 2 or 3 cookies at a time. Drop
  slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of thick batter for each cookie onto a
  lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread the dough very thin, using the
  back of the spoon, making rounds about 3 inches in diameter. Bake for
  5 minutes., or until the edges begin to brown lightly. Remove to a
  wire rack. Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of each
  cookie. Fold opposite sides together, crease crosswise at the center
  of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend backward for
  the traditional shape. Cool in muffin tins or small glasses to hold
  shape. Makes about 4 dozen.
