Step 1.
Stir together in a medium bowl: 3 large egg whites; ⅔ cup (130g) sugar; ⅛ teaspoon salt
-
Step 2.
Stir in one at a time, beating until blended after each addition: 1 stick (4 oz or 115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly; ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour; (⅓ cup [30g] almond meal or flour); ¼ teaspoon vanilla or 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice

Step 3.
Drop by the tablespoon about 4 inches apart onto the baking sheets. Bake 1 sheet at a time until the edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. While the cookies are still warm, turn over one cookie at a time, place a fortune in the center, letting part of the paper stick out, and fold the cookie in half. Pinch closed and lift the cookie and bring the corners together to make a C shape. Set on a rack to cool. If some of the cookies cool too much to shape, return the sheet to the oven briefly to warm and soften them.
