Pastry from dough in the form of cookies, inside of which a leaf with good wishes, wise sayings and cheerful aphorisms - this is a favorite branded delicacy served in many houses, cafes and restaurants, especially on New Year's and other holidays. This delicacy is prepared more often on Christmas Eve (then it is called "fortune cookies") or New Year according to the Eastern calendar (in this case, the dessert is presented as “Chinese cookies with wishes”). Consider popular recipes and possible predictions for the New Year for cookies.

New Year's Fortune Cookie Recipe #1

Shortbread dough is most often used to make classic Chinese cookies. To make 10 servings, you will need the following ingredients:

butter (you can use confectionery margarine) - 25 g;
wheat flour - 1/2 cup;
granulated sugar - 1 tbsp. l.;
egg(protein) - 1 pc.;
potato or corn starch- 1 tbsp. l.;
vanillin - on the tip of a knife;
a pinch of salt;
vegetable oil(for lubrication).

Step by step instructions for preparing the dough:

chop the butter with a knife;
mix the dry ingredients well (flour, starch, vanillin, salt and sugar);
egg white add to mixture and stir until thick uniform consistency;
in last put softened butter;
refrigerate for 1 hour.

Baking Chinese fortune cookies:

heat the oven to +180°C;
divide the frozen dough into 10 parts (roll into balls) or roll out with a rolling pin into 1 layer (the choice depends on the plasticity of the mass);
make a thin circle from each serving, no more than 3 mm thick (it is easy to cut an even circle on a rolled dough with a glass);
grease baking paper with confectionery fat or vegetable oil;
lay out blanks (10 pcs.);
put to bake for 10-15 minutes.

It is convenient to lay out the dough on a silicone baking mat (it is now often used instead of a baking sheet and parchment paper).
If the dough is not frozen enough in the refrigerator and spreads over the baking sheet, this is not a disadvantage, the main thing is to ensure that the mass retains the shape of a circle with a diameter of up to 5-8 cm.
It is not necessary to give a round shape (this is a classic), it can be any (square or in the form of bagels).
It is important not to overdry the blanks; they are removed from the oven as soon as the edges are browned.
shortbread dough fragile, it is easy to work with it when it is hot. Therefore, after the baking sheet is removed from oven, you need to quickly give the liver desired shape.
Folding the dough is 2 times easier, not forgetting to first insert a twisted note with a wish in the middle.
The hot and plastic mass is wrapped in the form of an "ear" or "dumpling".
One cookie is taken out so that it does not dry out (the rest are removed).
Cooking more than 10 servings does not make sense, because large quantity it will not be possible to do it qualitatively (if 15-20 pieces or more are required, then the dessert will have to be prepared in several passes).

Cookie recipe may vary. So for Christmas fortune-telling, cinnamon is added to fortune cookies, nutmeg, pepper, other spices. And for children's options use caramel, lemon peel, chocolate, condensed milk.

New Year's Fortune Cookie Recipe #2

1 more step-by-step instruction on cooking chinese dessert with themed notes. It will look like tubes, and inside them - wishes. The composition of the ingredients is as follows:

egg - 1 pc.;
sugar (preferably powdered sugar) - 1/2 cup;
flour - a little more than half a glass;
milk - enough 2 tbsp. l.;
vanillin on the tip of a knife;
ground cinnamon(taste);
butter (for greasing the baking sheet).

Dough preparation:

grind the egg with sugar (powder);
add flour, vanilla, cinnamon;
mix everything thoroughly;
dilute with milk to the consistency of sour cream.

Baking:

preheat the oven to +160°C;
pre-grease the baking sheet with oil and sprinkle with flour (when using a silicone mat, this is not necessary);
pour the finished composition in the form of pancakes (diameter 8-10 cm) onto a metal mold;
In 5 minutes thin dough ready, it is hot removed from the sheet and rolled into tubes.

Hot blanks in the form of pancakes cool down quickly, so you need to roll them up in several hands or take them out of the oven one at a time with a spatula.
It’s better to cook cookies alone like this: while the first tube is twisted, the second pancake is baked (do not forget to grease the baking sheet every time).
Roll up the cookies, starting from the edge on which the note is placed.
Notes can be put inside even after the dessert has cooled (for this, when folding, you need to leave a place).
The tubes are placed in a plate tightly to each other, laying on the side of the joint (so as not to turn around).
Above holiday treat can be sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Chinese tube-shaped fortune cookies are ready. For dessert, you can cook caramel (melt soft sweets in milk), serve jam, honey, boiled condensed milk. Gently dip the edges of the cookies with warm caramel and immediately process with bright confectionery topping. On New Year's holidays, such an ornament can even be hung on a Christmas tree.

Fortune is indeed able to bring good luck - just as it happened with the Briton Danny Williams, who lives in the city of Harold Hill. In the summer of 2008, a 23-year-old man won £235,000 in the state lottery lottery draw by filling in the numbers found in the lottery ticket. biscuit cookies with predictions. On the piece of paper that was inside the biscuit, it is supposed to write playful wishes and advice, but Williams found the numbers. The Briton decided to use them, as a result becoming the owner of the jackpot. Maybe one day you will be the same. Good luck!

In China, it is generally not known about such cookies, because they were invented by the Japanese. In ancient times, they had such fortune-telling as “omikuji”. It consisted in the fact that a person who decided to tell fortunes on "omikuji" had to write on pieces of paper several ways to solve his problem and, regardless, choose one. He was considered true. Baking fortune cookies was invented by a Japanese immigrant who settled in San Francisco, Makoto Hagiwara. There is currently a factory that bakes up to 4 billion cookies a day. These cookies are in high demand due to their low calorie content. It contains minimal amount sugar and fat. BUT various additives in the form of almonds, vanilla, chocolate make them unique for each manufacturer.

In the XIII-XIV centuries, the Mongolian Yuan dynasty ruled in China, which the true Chinese simply hated and wanted to organize an uprising. A Chinese named Zhu Yuan Zhang, who honored Chinese holidays and tradition, every year, on the fifteenth night of the eighth moon, baking a lot of moon cakes for harvest day, figured out how to do it. He offered to bake many, many of these pies, and inside, instead of filling, put a note with an "invitation" to the uprising and the start date. And on the eve of the next harvest festival, he brought it to life. Thanks to this, the uprising happened, and the savvy Chinese became the first emperor of the Ming dynasty.

Another story of origin originates in San Francisco at the beginning of the twentieth century. In his restaurant, a Japanese immigrant decided to thank the guests who visited his establishment. To do this, he baked small buns, and put a note inside with gratitude and good wishes. He distributed them to the guests, who received it very positively. Having thus expressed his respect for the guests, he received an even greater number of visitors. Over time, other restaurants adopted this experience, and began to serve similar cakes.

There is also a Japanese version of the origin of fortune cookies. They were given to parishioners after visiting the temple. Each cookie contained one of the religious sayings. The shape of the cookies was not the same. Each temple baked the ones it wanted.

In Los Angeles, Cantonese immigrant baker David Jung baked small brownies, stuffed small pieces of paper with words of encouragement into them, and distributed them to the poor and homeless on the streets of the city.

Historians say that one of the versions of the appearance of such cakes is an ancient Chinese parlor game. High society Chinese entertained themselves by coming up with wise sayings. And they learned themes precisely from such cookies.

There is another story of the emergence of cookies with wishes. Since ancient times in China, it was customary to bake such a dessert, and put inside a piece of paper announcing that a child was born in the family. Then relatives who came to visit brought the same cakes with good and bright wishes to the newborn.

This video shows how fortune cookies are made on a production scale.

But it will be a great addition to tea during a friendly meeting, New Year's celebration or even with its help you can make an original proposal to your loved one.

Fortune cookies were first made in the 14th century by a Chinese named Zhu Yuan Zhang. He, like most people in China, respects the harvest festival called Zhongqiujie. Every year, it was for this holiday that Zhu Yuan cooked in in large numbers traditional cookies, but he received well-deserved fame only after a secret operation. This operation consisted in the fact that it was necessary to secretly notify all the inhabitants of the uprising without drawing attention to themselves. And then Zhu decided to make cookies, inside of which there will be a note with the text. After a while, the cookies were prepared and received by the people, after which there was an uprising, as a result of which Zhu Yuan became the first ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

Making traditional Chinese fortune cookies at home is quite simple, and details and nuances can be found in step by step recipe with photo.

Ingredients

(60 g)
(100 g)
(150 g)
(3-4 pieces)
(1 tablespoon)

Cooking steps

Let's start collecting everything necessary ingredients and put it on the table. After we are convinced of their full availability, we proceed to direct preparation.

We take the butter, cut it into cubes and put it in a saucepan.

Take the flour and sift it through a sieve into a bowl.

The result should be a magnificent flour slide, as shown in the photo.

Add 125 g of proteins to the sifted flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale handy, take 3 large eggs and 4 medium ones.

Add the cooled butter to the dough.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. The dough will be slightly lumpy at first.

But after a few minutes, it will become smooth and without lumps. Mix it with a spatula or whisk.

After the dough has acquired a smooth texture, add spices. Here you can not limit yourself to just cinnamon. You can also add a mixture of spices, vanilla, or, if you want to please your loved ones even more, put a little food coloring.

The next stage of preparation is more simple. Using a spoon, spread the dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment for baking, and level it to a thin layer. The diameter of the "pancakes" should be about 10 cm. You can also use molds to give more roundness.

We do not lay out a lot of "pancakes" at once, we start with two. The baked dough cools quickly and begins to harden. We bake the circles in the oven at a temperature of about 180 degrees. We determine the baking time ourselves. As soon as the edges are browned, we take the cookies out of the oven.

Now it's time to put a note with text in the center of the cookie.

After putting the note, fold the cookies in half.

And now the most interesting stage of making cookies with predictions and wishes. Put the folded edge of the cookie on a glass or mug. Be careful, it's very hot.

As a result, the cookie becomes slightly similar to a heart. It often seems that the cookies are too soft, and this is true. At first, only the crust near the edge crunches, but then, after an hour, the entire surface becomes crispy. Cookies can be stored this way for several days. It's time to surprise and delight loved ones delicious dessert. Everyone loves Chinese fortune cookies.

Enjoy your meal!

Fortune Cookies (Fortune Cookies, Fortune Cookies, Fortune Cookies) come from China. According to Chinese custom, when children are born in families, parents make cookies with a baked message inside with an announcement of the birth of the child. Cookies are baked in the form of a pancake, a piece of paper with a prediction is placed inside. Then the cookies are wrapped while still hot and harden in the desired shape. These cookies are great for entertaining guests at various parties, banquets, children's parties or in new year's eve. Valentine's Day is coming soon, these cookies can definitely be a very interesting and tasty occasion to tell your soul mate about your feelings. The main thing is to choose the appropriate predictions or wishes. It’s easy to come up with them yourself (what scope for a creative impulse!) And write them by hand. And you can use our templates of traditional oriental wisdom. You can download wishes for free here http://vk.com/godovasieunas Print wishes (sayings, prophecies) on paper. Cut the sheets. It is desirable to print the inscription on paper on a laser printer. If you write by hand, then the heat can cause the ink to float, and the inscription will not be readable. By the way, Briton Danny Williams from Essex won half a million dollars in the summer of 2008 - he entered the numbers that he found in a biscuit prediction into a lottery ticket. So the main thing is to believe! Let's get started!

After cooking, you will receive 12
Cooking time: 25 min

Ingredients

2 pcs. egg
20 gr. vegetable oil
55 gr. powdered sugar
55 gr. wheat flour

Cooking method

Separate the yolks from the whites. The yolks can be used to make custard, for example.

Lightly beat the whites with a whisk, add vegetable oil and beat again until a slight foam forms.

Sift the flour into a separate bowl and powdered sugar, stir.

Add 7 teaspoons cold water, stir the mass.

We combine the egg and flour mixtures and use a blender to bring the mixture to a homogeneous state.

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes so that air bubbles come out of it. The dough should turn out liquid like kefir with a small percentage of fat. If it seems to you that the dough is too thick, add a couple more teaspoons of water and stir the dough.

Grease a Teflon coated baking dish butter. We heat the oven to 180 degrees. It is very convenient to pour the dough with the help of a salad ring (7-8 cm in diameter). We put the ring in the mold and pour one tablespoon of dough into it. Then remove the ring and repeat the procedure.

It is best to bake no more than 3-4 cookies at a time. This is due to the fact that cookies cool very quickly and become brittle.

Bake cookies in the middle of the oven for about 4 minutes. You need to watch the cookies, as soon as the edges are browned - take them out.

Now we need to act quickly. It is very convenient to use silicone gloves to immediately start forming cookies. Carefully separate the cookie from the mold, put it on the palm of your hand and put a prediction in the middle of the cookie.

Fold the cookies in half evenly.

Then, using a mug, fold it in half again. We fix it on the mug for a few seconds.

Then, to fix the shape, remove the cookies in a glass.

Let's move on to the next cookie.

As soon as the first batch is formed, we proceed to the next one. The cookies are crispy but not brittle.

We wish you only good predictions!

Since ancient times, people have believed in prophecies and predictions. They made life easier for them in moments when they hesitated and hesitated when making decisions. But only bakers in ancient China took this seriously.

They were able to create such a recipe for predictions, which gained popularity after several millennia. And it is the “magic cookies” that become the most important delicacy of friendly parties and special occasions.

Preparation of predictions

If you want to ingratiate yourself with fortune, then Chinese fortune cookies will be the best and most successful choice. You can buy them at the nearest supermarket, a restaurant specializing in oriental cuisine, or you can bake a delicacy yourself. But more on that later, and now let's get down to the most interesting part - preparing predictions.

A note with a future wish is best printed using a laser printer. This is a very important point, since a prediction written with a pen or printed on an inkjet printer runs the risk of spoiling.

The fact is that there are recipes where a note is inserted before heat treatment. In this case, the text under the influence of high temperature conditions will become blurred and no one will be able to read it.

For a children's event, stock up on colorful paper. It will be interesting for children not only to read, but also to see who has what color prediction.

Classic recipe

Step by step workflow:

Beat the powder and proteins until a stable air mass;
