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.
