April 9: National Chinese Almond Cookie Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Homemade Fortune Cookies (Gluten-Free, Grain-Free)
Categories: Nuts, Dairy, Citrus
Yield: 18 servings

2/3 c Almond flour
1/3 c Tapioca flour
1/4 c Heavy cream
3 tb Butter; melted
1 lg Egg
1/4 c Coconut sugar
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla extract
Zest of a lemon or orange

Equiment: pizzelle iron

Preheat the pizzelle iron, iron, or skillet.

If using an oven set it to around 400┬║F/200┬║C. If using
a skillet, use medium heat.

Blend all of the ingredients together well.

Spoon about a tablespoon of the batter onto the hot iron
and close. If you are using an oven instead, spread the
batter into a thin, even circle (around 3 inches in
diameter) on a tray prepared with some parchment paper
or a silicone mat. If using your stove, quickly spread
the batter in a circle on the hot skillet.

Close the iron and wait a minute or two before opening
it to peek at how the cookie is looking.

If you are using the stove, you want to bake the cookie
until it begins to brown. It is normal for the edges to
be slightly darker than the center. Be careful not to
allow them to burn.

If using a skillet, cook the batter until the top of the
cookie is no longer sticky before flipping it like you
would a pancake. Your cookie is ready when it is lightly
browned on both sides.

No matter which method you are using, you want to
achieve a golden brown color. If the cookie doesn't
reach this stage, it won't crisp up enough to hold its
shape or have the texture of a fortune cookie.

Once your cookie has browned, carefully remove it from
the heat source and begin to form it into a fortune
cookie shape.

To form the fortune cookie, begin by placing your
fortune in the center of the circle, then fold the
cookie in half over the slip of paper.

Immediately fold the cookie in half again, this time by
bringing the side edges down and together. This can more
simply be done by bringing each edge down on either side
of the rim of a glass or a bowl.

Once you have achieved the right shape, place your
cookie in a muffin tin to help it keep its shape until
it cools. Once cool, it will harden enough to be crispy
and hold its shape on its own.

Eat immediately or store in a well sealed container to
prevent the humidity from reaching your cookies and
making them soggy!

Enjoy!
