ORANGE HONEY FORTUNE COOKIES

3/4 cup cake flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 large egg whites, room temperature
1/3 cup orange blossom honey (or other mild-flavored honey)
1/8 teaspoon pure orange oil (or 1/4 teaspoon pure orange extract)
16 proverbs or fortunes written on 4x1/2-inch-wide strips of white paper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine flour, cornstarch and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, honey and orange oil until slightly frothy. Add flour mixture and whisk until smooth.

Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, place four 1-tablespoon portions of the mixture on baking mat, evenly spaced. Using a small spatula or the back of a spoon, shape each portion into a 3 1/2 to 4-inch round.

Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven. Working quickly, use a small spatula to loosen cookies; place a proverb or fortune on one side of each cookie. Fold in half, and then fold points toward each other.

Place cookies in a small container (i.e. muffin pan) to hold shapes until cooled. Repeat with remaining batter. Store in airtight container up to 1 week.

Makes 16 cookies
