Recipe - Personalized Fortune Cookies

Text file

Copyright (c) 1996 Virginia B. Sauer

Personalized fortune cookies make wonderful favors ... They are made as you
would any fortune cookie, but are dipped in chocolate and crushed brickle
chips for added flavor, and contain fortunes you've selected just for those
recipients.

1. Make cookie dough (following your favorite recipe, or one of those
listed below).

2. Select fortunes tailored to your guests, or use favorite quotations
about friendship, motivation, faith, et cetera. For a wedding, it could be
a message from the couple, such as "Thank you for sharing this happy
occasion with us! Tiffany and Kevin".

3. If you are writing the fortunes by hand, cut white or ivory paper into
desired number of strips (e. g., 1 One half x One fourth inch, or 3 inches x One half inch,
depending upon selected fortunes, the size of your writing, et cetera).
Otherwise, use your computer to print them in a pretty calligraphytype
font, and cut the paper after printing.

4. Place a fortune on each cookie. (If you want to splurge, add a
scratchoff lottery ticket along with each fortune.)

5. Fold cookie in half. Holding points of folded cookie with both hands,
place center of fold over edge of bowl and pull points downward to make a
crease across center. Bake as directed in recipe.

6. Dip each cookie in melted chocolate (so that just outside is coated)

7. Either dip chocolate (still soft) in crushed brickle chips, decorate
with little icing doves, wedding bells, brides, grooms, and/or hearts.
