I have two fortune cookie recipes that I like. Here is one, which is
adapted from _The Nancy Drew Cookbook: Clues to Good Cooking_.

Beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla. Then add eggs,
one at a time, beating well after adding each. Add flour and beat
thoroughly. Heat the oven to 375F. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough at least
2" apart onto greased and floured baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes and
remove. With a wide spatula, loosen each cookie from the sheet. Place a
folded fortune on each cookie. Gently fold the cookies in half with the
fortune inside. Pinch edges together, then twist in the center. Makes 60.
Note: While putting a fortune inside each cookie, keep the sheet warm. This
will make cookies easier to work with. Posted to EATL Digest 19 Mar 97 by
