    PATTI'S LOW-CAL FORTUNE COOKIES

    Flour
    3 tbsp. butter, softened
    3 tbsp. sugar
    1 egg white
    1/2 tsp. vanilla

    Cut out fortunes; fold in half lengthwise, then crosswise; set aside. Grease cookie sheet. Dip rim of 3 inch cookie cutter or glass in flour; press 6 outlines firmly 1 inch apart on prepared sheet; set aside.
    In small bowl beat butter, sugar, egg white, and vanilla until well blended. Stir in 1/3 cup flour until well blended. With small spatula spread rounded teaspoonful batter in each outlined circle. Bake in preheated 400 degree for 4-5 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove; place cookie sheet on rack.

    Quickly loosen cookie with spatula; turn bottom side up. Place folded fortune in center. Gently fold cookie in half; hold edges together 3 seconds (count of 3). Grasp folded ends of cookie; place center of fold over rim of glass. Gently press ends down to bend cookie in middle. Cool. Repeat with remaining cookies. If cookies cool and become too brittle to fold, return to oven briefly to soften. Makes about 20.

    Per cookie: 23 cal, 0 g pro, 2 g car, 1 g fat, 5 mg chol with butter, 0 mg chol with butter

    HELPFUL HINT: Remember you don't always have to include a fortune. Have some fun!! Try some jokes, trivia questions, or some nice thoughts for the day!
