   I saw that someone requested a recipe for these.  I found this in my book 

of 4000 recipes, "Joy of Cooking".

Almond Curls or Fortune Cookies

Preheat oven to 350*.
If you want to make these cookies, or almond Kruncakes, into fortune favors 

for a party, have your remarks printed on thin papres, 3 X 3/4 to 1 inch size. 

 After the cookies are curled, insert a slip in each, letting part of the 

paper project.  Pinch the ends of the roll closed while the cookie is still 

warm.  Combine and mix, until sugar is dissolved:
  3/4 c. unbeaten eggwhites: 5 to 6
  1 2/3 c. sugar
  1/4 t. salt
Stir in sparingly and beat until well blended:
  1 c. melted butter
  1 c. all purpose flour'
  3/4 c. finely chopped blanched almonds
  1/2 t. vanilla or 1 T. lemon juice

Drop the dough in Tablespoonfuls, well apart, onto an ungreased baking sheet. 

Bake about 10 minutes or until the edges are a golden brown.  Mold cookie over 

a wooden spoon handle.
