Fortune Cookie
⁣
Happy Lunar New Year of the Tiger
⁣
Lunar New Year for me is family, food, well wishes, good luck & celebration
⁣
The fortune cookie then to me is a great symbol of the Chinese New Year. It’s gold, looks like a yuan bao or ingot, you get a fortune & get to eat it too! ⁣
⁣
Thin, sweet & shatters in your mouth; these cookies are as fun to eat as they are to make. They are very similar to a French Thuile or ice cream cone which it can be molded into various shapes
⁣
They are easy to make but also extremely finicky when it comes to the molding the shape but with a bit of practice and edible mistakes, you will be cranking them out in no time

Bake at 300F for 8-10 minutes⁣
⁣
Major Tip!⁣
Only make 2 cookies at a time. They will cool/harden faster than you can mold and fold them!⁣
Wear cotton gloves to handle the warm cookie. It will be easier than with hands⁣
Cook them only until they are light blonde! They will keep cooking/darkening as they sit⁣
If the cookie hardens too fast, simply place it back in the oven for 10-15 seconds to make it pliable again⁣
⁣
You can totally omit shaping them. Just bake them off & eat them as is!⁣
