Mix the egg whites, almond extract, and oil. Set aside. In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add the egg mixture and water and mix until lumps are dissolved. Set aside. Form thin circles of approximately 10 cm in diameter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They should be spaced apart, as they may expand and stick together. Bake the cookies at 140 °C for 10 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven and place a fortune slip in each cookie. Lift with a spatula, fold in half, and then pinch the corners together. Place over a bowl and let cool for 1 hour. Serve the fortune cookies.
