• 9 Bake cookies 1 at a time. (IMPORTANT).
• 10 Drop 1/3 cup of batter on a greased cookie sheet.
• 11 Spread evenly into a 10 circle.
• 12 Bake in oven until cookie turns a light golden brown (about 13 to 15 minutes).
• 13 Immediately place a fortune in the centre of the hot, pliable cookie.
• 14 Using the pot holders to protect your hands, bring two opposite ends of the cookie together, grasp the ends of the folded cookie and gently pull together to crease.
• 15 Hold the folded cookie for 1 minute to maintain its shape as it cools and becomes crisp.

• 17 When the cookies have cooled completely, store in an airtight container.
