Fortune cookies

4 servings

30 minutes

Fortune cookies are a traditional New Year's treat invented in the USA. Making these cookies requires skill and patience, since you can only give the cookies the desired shape in the first few minutes after baking, while the dough is still hot. It is best to write wishes on the pieces of paper by hand with a felt-tip pen or print them on a laser printer. The size of the pieces of paper should not be larger than 1.5 by 7 cm.
