The other day, I took a shot at creating my own takeout from home. I think I executed it flawlessly, but there was one challenge that I had to overcome to fully execute my plan – how to make fortune cookies! That’s when I learned how easy they are to make them and surprisingly use some pretty basic ingredients that I already had around the house.
Before you actually make the cookies, you’ll need to print out some custom fortunes. I made some fun ones for my husband and kids and couldn’t wait to see their faces when they opened them. Here were some examples:
wife will bring you good fortune.”
Here’s the actual recipe for how to make fortune cookies at home:

*A much simpler way to actually fold the cookies, especially if you’re doing multiples, is to use this Fortune Cookie Maker. It cuts the time down tremendously and ensures that you’ll have perfectly shaped cookies every time.
How neat. We get Chinese enough that I don’t have to make my own, but cool to know that I could if needed.
ohhh this is great! I have always wanted to know how to make them but never thought to actually look it up. This is great ill have to look into the machine though cause im lazy LOL thanks!
Such a creative idea. I love Fortune Cookies, and I think it would be such a fun idea to make them at home, and put your own fortune’s inside.
Wow! It okay like you did a great job on them. I thought maybe you needed a special tin or machine to mak them.
Making my own custom fortunes would be a blast. I love this idea! Fortune cookies are so fun.
I really enjoyed reading that takeout posts and making your own fortune cookies was brilliant! Thanks for the recipe. I had no idea that there’s a machine that makes it easier to make fortune cookies.
