Fortune cookies are usually one of the most interesting and memorable parts of any holiday. Regardless of whether the participants of the feast believe in the mysticism of prophecies, the discussion of forecasts can significantly revitalize the conversation.
Preparing predictions
Small fortune notes are the first thing to take care of before baking cookies. To maintain a good mood in the company, forecasts should in no way contain criticism or negativity. Better to be happy or thought-provoking. For example: “A wish will come true”, “Take your time in making a decision, think carefully about every step you take”, “Do not overdo it in achieving your goal”, “Wait for a good phone call”, “Luck is just around the corner”, “There are no hopeless situations "And so on, it all depends on your imagination. As predictions, you can use aphorisms and quotes of famous people, proverbs and sayings, lucky numbers. The main thing is that they fit on a narrow strip of paper, which will need to be "hidden" in the cookie. Write about 30 predictions, print and cut.
Recipe and baking
The ingredients list includes two egg whites, 50-60 grams of softened butter, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 60 grams of flour, half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and some vanilla powder (to taste). The dough for making "cookies of happiness" is kneaded quickly enough.
The butter should be melted and cooled. Beat the whites into a foam, gradually adding powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanillin. Then mix it all with butter and flour. The dough is liquid and airy. On a baking sheet covered with parchment, you need to put a round cookie 5-6 centimeters in diameter with a spoon. The thinner the layer, the more elastic the cookie will be. The oven must be preheated to 180 degrees. It will take 4-6 minutes to bake, you should take out the cookies immediately after the edges are slightly browned. Beginners are advised to bake no more than 4-5 units at a time.
The final stage
The most difficult and crucial stage is the sealing of wishes. This should be done as quickly as possible, since after 2-3 minutes the cookies taken out of the oven begin to freeze. Hot baked goods will burn your hands, so it is best to wear gloves. In the center of the baked circle, you need to put a piece of paper with a wish and fold it in half. The resulting semicircle must be placed on the edge of the glass, lower the edges and wait until the cookie hardens. This form of baked goods is often called "ears". It will take about an hour and a half to make cookies, and the mood given by sincere wishes will last much longer.
