Instructions

1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease two cookie sheets with cooking spray.

Write fortunes on strips of paper about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

Mix egg white and vanilla together in a bowl until foamy but not stiff. Sift in flour, sugar, and salt; stir until blended.

Drop two spoonfuls of batter at least 4 inches apart onto one prepared cookie sheet. Tilt the sheet to spread batter into 3-inch-diameter circles.

Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are pale in the center and golden on the outer 1/2-inch edge, about 5 minutes.

Remove cookies from the oven. Quickly lift one cookie with a wide spatula and place upside down onto a wooden board. Place a fortune on the cookie (close to the middle) and fold cookie in half around the paper.

Place the folded edge over the rim of a measuring cup or coffee mug and pull the pointed edges down, one inside the cup and one outside. Place cookie into a muffin tin or egg carton to hold its shape as it cools. Repeat to form and fill the second cookie.

Who-Hash
This easy dish was one we often had while camping as kids — my sister and I loved it. Many years later, I was challenged to come up with a dish to take to my sister's for Christmas brunch. I was inspired and made our camper's hash. To justify this humble dish's appearance at Christmas, I called it "Who-Hash," and a tradition was born. Now we make this Who-hash recipe every Christmas morning. The name of this dish came from a line in Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" where it is described that the Grinch stole everything in the Whos' house, even "their last can of Who-hash!"
Apple Cider Margarita
This apple cider margarita is a nice fall twist on traditional margaritas using apple cider, tequila, cinnamon whiskey, butterscotch schnapps, and lime.
Chef John's Hot Sloppy Joe Dip
For me this checks all the boxes for a hot party dip. It's relatively cheap and easy to make, but maybe more importantly, it's great hot, warm, or room temp. And it's also incredibly versatile.
