How to Make Fortune Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease a small bowl with cooking oil or butter.
  6. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Quickly remove a cookie from the oven and use a spatula to carefully transfer it to the prepared small bowl, immediately forming a half-moon shape before it cools.
  9. Press the cookie into the half-moon shape and hold for 15 seconds to set the form. Repeat until all cookies are used.
  10. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once cool, carefully fill each fortune cookie with your personalized fortunes.
