3 Egg whites
1/2 c Sugar
1/8 ts Salt
1/4 ts Vanilla
1 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Instant tea
2 tb Water
1/2 c Margarine -- melted
Fortunes on slips of paper

Mix egg whites, sugar, and salt thoroughly with spoon. Mix in
remaining ingredients, except fortunes. Cover bowl with plastic
wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350?F. Grease baking sheet. Have clean white
cotton gloves ready to use when folding and shaping the hot
cookies. If gloves are not available, use two pieces of paper
towelling folded to several thicknesses to protect fingers from the
hot cookies. Also have some clean muffin tins ready to hold baked
cookies while they cool.

Shape and bake 2 cookies at a time. For each cookie, drop 1 ts
batter onto a baking sheet. Spread the batter with back of spoon to
make a 3" circle.

Bake at 350?F for 3 to 5 minutes, or until edges turn light
brown.

Work very quickly. Remove one cookie with wide spatula to counter
top. Place a fortune paper across center of cookie. Using gloves or
paper towelling, fold edge of cookie over to make a semicircle.
Hold cookie on the ends and place the middle of folded edge over
top of muffin pan; bend ends down. Place folded cookie carefully in
a muffin cup to cool. Repeat process.
