Take 2 egg whites and vanilla in a clean bowl and whisk them using a hand whisk or an electric beater. Whisk only till it becomes frothy.
Sift the flour and sugar to the egg whites and fold in to form a smooth paste.
Add the water and form a thin and runny batter. Add more water if required.
Line a baking tray with silicon mat. Take a tablespoon of the batter and spread it out on the silicon mat to make a circle that it 3 inches in diameter. Make only 2 of these cookies at a time.
Bake them for about 8 minutes till the edges become brown.
Carefully take the baking tray out and place the message slip on the centre.
Quickly fold the flat cookie into half, and holding both the edges, remove it from the silicon mat and fold it from the centre with the help of a cup or glass. (As shown in the video). Be careful as the cookies will be hot but will only fold while still soft.
Let the fortune cookies cool and harden before cracking them open.
