Fortune-ate to have you, girl...

I had the awesome opportunity to learn how to make chocolate fortune cookies from Stuart Tarff, the pastry chef at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Spice Market in the Meatpacking District.

Chocolate Fortune Cookies

Ingredients
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup trimoline (an inverted sugar)
3/4 cup & 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
3/4 cup minus 1 Tbsp 10x sugar
3 Tbsp & 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup egg whites

Mixing The Batter
Place the softened butter and some trimoline in a bowl, to give some moisture to the fortune cookies. Mix them together to get a cream. Add the dry ingredients – the flour, sugar and cocoa powder. Mix it all together and slowly add the egg white.
Once the batter is ready, form thin discs on a silicone mat and bake them for 8 minutes. Once you pull them out, it’s time to fold the discs into a half-moon shape.

Folding The Cookies

Keep the tray in the oven with the door open while working and work fast. Peel the cookie from the silicone covered tray and place it in the palm of your hand. Lay the paper fortune in the middle of the cookie, and hold it there while folding the cookie in half. Do not crease.Still holding the warm folded cookie in both hands between your thumb and index fingers, bring the ends of the half-circle together, pulling them away from the round side to form a horseshoe shape. You can also drape them while warm on the rim of a glass or bowl to get this shape.
The opened side of the fortune cookie should be facing upward, towards you.
