I found a basic recipe for fortune cookies in Women’s World Magazine, and tweaked it a bit for a new take on this classic treat.
Think of clever fortunes such as: “Shame on you for thinking a cookie is psychic”, “Error 404: Fortune not found”, etc.
Add sprinkles, ground coconut, pipe different icing designs if you like, be creative & have fun! Put them in a fancy take-out container, and they will make a thoughtful gift. You could even add food coloring for a wedding or baby-shower theme =^_^=.
