Ingredients

3
powdered sugar
50 g
melted butter
40 g
all-purpose flour
50 g
Instructions
1
Prepare the paper strips
Preheat the oven to 200°C (Th. 7). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease them. Cut the paper into 18 strips of 6 x 2 cm. Write a message on each strip.
2
Make the batter
In a bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites with the powdered sugar. Add the melted butter and flour, then stir until a smooth batter forms.
3
Spread the cookies
Using a 1 cl measuring spoon, place a small amount of batter on one of the baking sheets and spread it out to form a disc about 7.5 cm in diameter. Make 2 more discs the same way on the baking sheet.
4
Bake
Bake for 6 minutes, until the cookies are golden. Meanwhile, prepare 3 more cookies on the second baking sheet.
5
Fold
Working quickly, peel the hot cookies off the paper, fold them in half, and slip the message inside. Place the cookies on the edge of a cup or bowl, then gently fold once more (they may not close completely).
6
Next batches
Remove the first batch of cookies and add the second. Process the other cookies the same way. Continue baking and folding until the batter is used up.
