I made fortune cookies that came out a little chewy?
I thought this was because I used no corn syrup
I was using a Martha Stewart recipe
egg whites
superfine sugar
ap flour
butter
heavy cream
almond extract
the cookie shuld have been light and crispy
What did I do wrong??
what could have caused it??

I don’t think that you have done anything wrong. I used that recipe years and years ago and seem to recall that mine were a bit chewy, which is why I switched to another one. I couldn’t even begin to remember what the one I switched to was, I’ll look around and see if I can find it.

Sometimes Martha is great, sometimes you wonder if any one tests the recipes before they go to print.

use less creme and butter and maybe alittle more sugar that might work. But I agree with izbnso, its probably the recipe. In my opinion 70% of the baking recipe out there don't work out like they are suppose to.
