I got this recipe from Aria's cookbook she got for Christmas last year. Aria loves to bake with me and is always wanting to make something from her cookbook. We have made a few things and they have turned out well. A couple weeks ago we thought we would try our hand at "homemade fortune cookies". They were fun to make and Aria loved decorating and taking them to her friends. I also printed out some fortunes I found online or you could make up your own for the occasion to put in your cookie.
Fortune Cookies
1 package refrigerated pie crust (I did not have any on hand so I made mine from scratch)
1 tablespoon water
Colored decorating sugars or cinnamon and sugar, placed in small saucers
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Write a note of good fortune or draw little symbols on two inch long pieces of paper with a pen or non-toxic marker.
Sprinkle flour on your work area and smooth it with your hand.
Unfold one pie crust at a time and place on work area. Turn over crust to dust both sides with flour. Flatten and smooth out wrinkles with rolling pin. With a 3 inch round cookie cutter, cut out 4 to 6 circles per pie crust. You may reroll scraps if you wish.
Put one fortune in the center of each circle and fold in half. Then fold the semicircle in half.
Brush each fortune cookie with a little water to moisten. Dip one side of each cookie into colored sugar, then place on cookie sheet, sugar-side up. Place cookies 2 inches apart.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully take from oven and cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
Makes 12 fortune cookies.
