Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Grease and flour 2 to 3 cookie sheets. Draw 3 inch circles on cookie sheets, 1/2 inch apart, with the tip of a dull table knife. Set aside. Combine butter, sugar, egg whites and almond extract and beat at medium speed until blended. Stir in flour. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls into circles on prepared cookie sheets, and spread each to fill circle. Bake for 4 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned. Remove from oven. Working very quickly, loosen cookies with spatula, but leave on warm cookie sheet. Take cookies one at a time, place folded fortune in center of cookie. Gently fold cookie in half. Bend folded edge of cookie downward. Place in muffin pan to harden. If cookies cool and become too brittle to fold, return to warm oven briefly to soften. (You may want to only bake 6 cookies at a time, unless there is someone else there to help fold them. Fortunes should be made ahead of time on strips of paper 3" x 3/4". Write the fortunes and fold in half lengthwise.
