How to Make Hong Kong Fortune Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour and beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Lightly grease and flour two large baking sheets.
  7. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Quickly remove cookies from baking sheets using a wide spatula and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  10. While still warm, place a folded fortune slip onto the center of each cookie.
  11. Fold the cookie in half, pinching the edges together to seal.
  12. Gently curve the cookie into a crescent shape by pinching the center.
  13. Work quickly as the cookies harden fast. Keep the baking sheet warm to help with shaping.
  14. Let cool completely before serving. Makes approximately 60 fortune cookies.
