Tips for Making Fortune Cookies
This is not a typical cookie formula . It ’s a originative challenge .
When I made them , the goal was to make delicious , giant - size fortune cookies with usage fortunes inside .
It took six endeavor but , once I visualize it out , the results were beautiful .
You canjump justly to the recipebut please do read the tips as well to save yourself some brokenheartedness . I struggled so you do n’t have to . 🙂
I initially tried several recipes from allrecipes.com and other recipe sites , and one from a pop blog that recommended heating them in a frying pan .
The fried ones plough out like a thick flannel cake — that unearthly matter pictured below — and it certainly was n’t going to form a fortune cookie .
The ones with pelf in the recipe tasted reasonably estimable but did n’t broil decently for folding .
Eventually , I came up with the best recipe ( below ) and I clued in that it ’s not just the ingredients that count but how quickly you work to shape them when they amount out of the oven .
How Fortune Cookies Are Made
You heat the batter in the oven onstick - free baking mats .
After a few minutes in the oven , the bound turn gold , resemble French pancake .
That ’s when you remove them from the oven and chop-chop insert the fortune and fold and shape each cookie .
The molded cookie are then placed in a muffin tin to hold their shape while they cool .
Here ’s some early effort that did n’t quite have the shape I was after ( but still tasted great ):
Work Fast
You haveone minutefrom the time they first come out of the oven to inclose the fortune and work them .
Any longer and they snap when you fold them .
So , unless you have a assistant , that means working in lowly spate . I would start with 2 - 3 cookies in the oven at a time and increase the amount as you improve .
Also , they are hot ! I just take in it up and burned my fingertip making them . If there is such a affair as thin , warmth - cogent evidence gloves for poppycock like this , apply them .

Fortune Ideas
Anything goes ! Who are you create these for ? You could use jocularity , riddles , compliment , reminders , trivia questions , or whatever you like .
We once did a scavenger hunt with all of the clues in the cookies . It necessitate cooperation to get it figured out .
If you have a information processing system printer and access to Word ( or interchangeable software ) , the templates for making small labels are a right size for fortunes .
typewrite them on the electronic computer , print and trim down them out and have them ready to go before you start cooky making .
