The Method

1
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, gingerbread spices and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, and water until combined.
4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Drop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Spread each drop into a thin, 3-inch circle.
6
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven.
7
Working quickly (this is crucial!), use a thin spatula to loosen one cookie at a time from the parchment paper. Place a fortune in the center of the cookie. Fold the cookie in half, then gently bend the folded cookie over the edge of a bowl or mug to create the fortune cookie shape.
8
Place the formed fortune cookie in a muffin tin to help it maintain its shape while it cools and hardens. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
9
Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
10
Dip the bottoms of the cooled fortune cookies in the melted white chocolate. Sprinkle with festive sprinkles.
11
Place the dipped fortune cookies on a parchment-lined sheet to allow the chocolate to set completely.
12
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Chef's Tips

Work quickly when shaping the cookies, as they harden fast. If they become too brittle to fold, return them to the oven for a minute to soften.

Prepare your fortunes ahead of time to streamline the cookie-making process.

You can adjust the amount of gingerbread spices to your liking.

Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.

If your chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to thin it.
