You can decorate fortune cookies baked according to these recipes: different ways: Cover with glaze, melted toffee, boiled condensed milk and apply colorful sprinkles on top.
The dough is prepared depending on the preferences of relatives and friends. It can be either shortbread or biscuit. IN in this case the main problem is how to fit the paper into each cookie. Some housewives cook soft dough, similar to pancake batter. In this case, the cookies are taken out of the oven while still soft, then a piece of paper with a fortune is wrapped in each product. For convenience, the cookies are covered with an “envelope” or like a regular dumpling.
There is a recipe for fortune cookies and a slightly different type - dough for cupcakes is prepared, only tighter. In this case, the papers are still placed in raw dough when forming cookies. Therefore, everything depends only on imagination and taste preferences. The delicacy can also be oatmeal with raisins and nuts or cottage cheese. Of course, the main role in such mysterious cookies, no matter what dough they are baked from, is played by the predictions themselves.
We wish you good luck in your culinary creativity!

Whichever way you look at it, there are only advantages. This shortbread Any housewife can easily and quickly prepare it, it turns out from small quantity There are about 40 (!) small cookies, and the original design will attract the attention of both big and small baking lovers.
The shape of hearts is just one of the design options; in fact, it all depends on your imagination, the availability of a variety of molds and the occasion for which the cookies are made. For example, for the New Year you can make stars with small holes and hang them on the Christmas tree, for Easter, egg-shaped molds are suitable, and for March 8, for example, flowers. The main thing is to preserve the “zest” of the cookie – the hole with melted caramel; such cookies are also called stained glass.
For cooking Cookies "Hearts with caramel" need to prepare:
- 100 g butter, it is better to remove it from the refrigerator first;
- 70 g of powdered sugar (you can also use granulated sugar, but with powder the cookies will turn out smoother and neater);
- 1 egg;
- a pinch of vanillin;
- 1 tsp. baking powder for dough;
- 200 g wheat flour premium quality;
- approximately 150 g of caramel such as “Barberry”, “Duchess” or “Mint”.
Cookies “Hearts with caramel” - recipe
Kneading the dough and shaping it does not take much time, so you can immediately turn on the oven; it is necessary that the temperature in it warms up to 180 degrees. Break an egg into a cup, add powdered sugar and finely chop or grate the butter, mix everything with a spoon, it is not necessary to achieve a uniform consistency.
Sift flour and baking powder into the resulting mass and knead the dough, first with a spoon and then with your hands. You should get a neat bun like this, if the dough sticks too much to your hands, then add one or two more tablespoons of flour into it.
Place the dough in a bag or wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator. Now you need to prepare the caramel. Unwrap the candies and place them in a bag, preferably a thick one, or in two bags. The candies need to be crushed; it is very convenient to do this with a meat hammer. About these pieces will be enough.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, sprinkle the work surface with flour and roll out the dough (you can divide it into 3-4 parts) into a layer about 5 mm thick. Use a heart-shaped cutter to cut out shapes.
Place the hearts on a baking sheet (be sure to line it with parchment), and on the baking sheet, using a round mold, make holes in the hearts. Thus, use the dough while there is free space on the baking sheet, freeze the remaining dough or bake the cookies in two batches.
Fill the holes in with pieces of caramel; you need to spread the caramel sparingly, it will settle a lot during baking.
Place the baking tray with cookies in an already sufficiently preheated oven. It will bake for only 7-10 minutes, so it’s better not to go far from the stove. As soon as all the caramel has melted and a light blush has appeared on the cookies, you can take out the baking sheet. Let the cookies cool completely on the parchment.
Real magic on New Year's table- cookies with predictions of goodness and happiness! Prepare at home for your loved ones.
The popular fortune cookie comes from China. Baked goods with a hidden wish inside are perfect for entertaining at various holidays, be it New year's night, Christmas, March 8 or February 14. These baked goods can easily be found on sale, but today we suggest making fortune cookies with your own hands. Agree, it’s much more interesting to choose funny or serious wishes for guests on your own, taking into account the age, character and hobbies of those gathered!
Preparing cookies is not difficult: first, thin cakes are baked, which are then wrapped together with a piece of paper on which the prediction is printed. The result is a cute pastry “with a secret.” Each guest chooses a cookie, breaks it and reads their prediction out loud. You can add some other funny task to your wish, turning the event into a funny competition.
- flour - 40 g;
- powdered sugar - 60 g;
- egg whites - 2 pcs.;
- butter - 20 g.
For registration:
- dark chocolate - 80 g;
- butter - 20 g;
- any confectionery toppings.
The first step for cookies is to prepare predictions that you can come up with yourself or find ready-made ones on the Internet. For the New Year's celebration, it is best to take comic wishes in verse to make the holiday even more fun and interesting! When the wishes are selected, print them on paper and cut them into strips about 1 cm wide.
Now let's start making cookies. About an hour or two before cooking, take the butter out of the refrigerator to obtain a soft consistency. Mix the melted butter with powdered sugar and rub vigorously with a spoon until smooth.
Separate the whites from the yolks and gradually add them to the butter, continuing to grind the mass. We achieve a liquid, homogeneous composition without lumps. To speed up the process, you can lightly beat the mixture with a mixer for a few seconds at minimum speed.
Add sifted flour into the resulting liquid in portions, thoroughly kneading the mixture each time and getting rid of flour lumps. The result should be a composition sufficiently liquid consistency, approximately like pancake dough. The prepared liquid mass is enough for 12-15 cookies.
On parchment we draw 2-3 circles with a diameter of about 9 cm. To do this, take a round bowl, lid, or any other suitable object and trace it with a pencil. Turn the paper over to the other side (the parchment is quite thin, so the circles will show through well). It is not recommended to bake more than 3 cookies at a time, since the cakes cool quickly and you simply may not have time to bake them the required form.
Pour a small portion of dough (1.5-2 teaspoons) into the center of each circle and spread it into a thin cake, without going beyond the boundaries of the drawn template. If you have doubts about the quality of the parchment paper, first generously grease it with butter so that the finished cookies do not stick. We send the preparations to the oven, which has already been preheated. Bake cookies at 200 degrees for about 5-10 minutes. The cakes should be well browned around the edges.
Remove one freshly baked cookie from the baking sheet using a spatula (leave the rest in the oven for now so that they do not have time to cool). Place a folded paper with a wish in the center of the hot cake and promptly fold the cookies in half. Be sure to wear gloves to avoid getting burned!
Without delay, fold it in half again and get a triangular “envelope”. We use the same principle with the next flatbread. We do everything very quickly - if the cookies cool down, you won’t be able to roll them, as they will simply crumble in your hands! Place the finished “triangles” into a cup or small bowl. You can lightly press them down with something so that when they cool, the formed cookies do not unroll and lose their shape.
There is another way to roll fortune cookies. We also place the paper with wishes in the center of the hot cake, which we fold in half. And then we bend the workpiece according to the principle of sculpting dumplings. Choose the cookie shape at your discretion.
To make the cookies bright and colorful, decorate them with icing and sprinkles. Heat the chocolate with oil in a “water bath”. The mixture should be homogeneous.
Apply glaze to each cookie and immediately decorate the baked goods confectionery sprinkles. We place the decorated fortune cookies on parchment and wait for the glaze to completely harden, after which we proceed to tasting and begin to “tempt fate”!

Or pour melted white and dark chocolate over them. To do this, melt the chocolate and fill a small piping bag with a thin hole. Then pour the chocolate over the cookies, moving forward and backward.
Recipe 5: New Year's prophecy cookies
New Year is coming soon and these small but very tasty cookies will serve as an excellent gift to your loved ones. Today we are making fortune cookies. The meaning of these cookies is that there is a note with wishes inside, but you don’t know what you’ll get.
- Butter 60 grams
- Powdered sugar 150 grams
- Flour 100 grams
- Egg 120 grams (4 whites)
- Cinnamon 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil 2-3 tablespoons
First of all, we need to sift the flour and powdered sugar.
Melt the butter in the microwave.
Then mix the dry ingredients with the egg whites.
Add butter, mix everything well. The dough turns out quite liquid, but that’s how it should be.
Cinnamon is not for everyone, you can add it or leave it out. Mix everything and the dough is ready.
Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper, draw 4 circles with a diameter of 10 cm with a pencil and place 1 teaspoon of dough on each circle. Then carefully spread the dough in a thin layer over the diameter of the circle.
Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 5-6 minutes, as soon as the edges turn brown, the cookies are ready. And we have 30 seconds to put a piece of paper with a wish and fold the cookies in half first, and then carefully shape the cookies with our hands. The cookies harden very quickly and they are very hot, so we act quickly and carefully.
The cookies dry out very quickly, so it’s better not to make more than four at a time. Then place the cookies on a plate. All is ready.
Write any wish: wish you happiness, health, money and love:). Have a nice new year to you and your family.
Recipe 6: Homemade Fortune Cookies
Fortune cookies are always interesting, exciting and even exciting. And also delicious. Inside there can be anything you want, not only predictions, but also all kinds of pranks, wishes, confessions, jokes, symbols, etc. But with predictions, of course, it turns out the most atmospheric and impressive, especially if you choose the right time and content carefully consider the notes. What if it really isn’t all a coincidence? Anything can happen…
And yes, in the cookies, in addition to the notes, there will be one more surprise. This is coffee icing - sugar-white glaze, tinted with instant coffee. This way you can get a pleasant warm shade without dye and a bright, invigorating aroma, which fits perfectly into the general “predictive” concept (well, everyone knows about fortune telling on coffee grounds!).
In general, I suggest you prepare fortune cookies for a special occasion, surprise and entertain your friends and family. Success is guaranteed!
- 100 g butter,
- 100 g sugar,
- 1 egg yolk,
- 230 g flour,
- 1 tbsp. l. dry ground ginger,
- a pinch of salt,
- a pinch of vanillin.
- 40 g egg white,
- 200 g powdered sugar (+ 1-2 tablespoons),
- a pinch of citric acid,
- 4 g instant coffee(two sticks).
Decoration and decoration:
- Ribbon or string, notes with predictions.
Melt the butter, then cool completely.
Add ginger and vanillin.
And also egg, sugar and salt.
Mix with a mixer - the mass will be creamy, but with grains of sugar.
Add flour in several additions.
And knead the soft dough.
Wrap the dough in cling film, keep for half an hour in the refrigerator. After that you can work with it.
Roll out the dough on parchment in a layer about 5 mm thick.
Cut out round pieces with a diameter of 4-5 cm from the dough.
We make holes in the future cookies (we will thread the ribbon through them when we tie the notes). It is convenient to make holes in the cookies with a piece of a cocktail tube (a long tube is inconvenient), and push the dough out of the tube with a wooden skewer.
Bake cookies in the oven preheated to 200˚C for about 15 minutes. When the cookies are browned on the bottom, you can remove them.
While the cookies are cooling, let's make the glaze.
The finished glaze dries quickly in the air and sets into a crust, so we’ll immediately prepare cornet bags for it. For these purposes, I use acetate film (sold in confectionery shops and flower shops) - the film produces cornets with a rather rigid spout, which can then be cut off to create a hole of the desired diameter. I don’t use icing attachments, I’ve never worked with them and I don’t know how convenient they are. But the question immediately arises: what to do if the hole becomes clogged? You can run a knife along the acetate spout in the direction of the hole and squeeze out a little glaze along with any clogged particles, but what should you do with the nozzle?
In general, we will twirl cornets from film. For clarity, I will show the process on parchment (the film is transparent, it’s hard to see). So, unwind a little film, fold it diagonally so that its two perpendicular sides coincide (you get a square folded diagonally).
We need half a square - this triangle, smooth and beautiful. Let's cut it off.
Now we fold it so that the nose of the bag falls in the middle of the long side of the triangle.
This is how you get a cornet bag.
The seams (internal and external) are secured with tape. We make cornets from film, remember?
This is what they look like when finished. If different glaze is needed different quantities, then for convenience it is better to make the cornets of different sizes.
Immediately cut off the spouts of the balls - pinch off a little at a time (we’ll figure out the required diameter of the hole later, the main thing now is not to cut off too much) so that the air comes out when we spread the glaze. Otherwise, the glaze will not penetrate deep into the cornet and it will be difficult to tie.
Now that the preparation is complete, you can start glazing.
Wash the eggs, the whites of which we will use for glaze, with baking soda. warm water and dry thoroughly.
For pouring glaze (more liquid), weigh 40 g of protein. Add citric acid at the tip of your finger. It is believed that the acid makes the glaze shiny, the colors more vibrant and the taste less cloying. I would say that the shine depends rather on the grinding of the powdered sugar, and the color depends on the quality of the dyes and the humidity in the room where the gingerbreads dry. I’m generally silent about the cloying quality - well, it’s all sugar, what can you do? But I still add acid a little at a time, I don’t mind, what if it’s a secret ingredient?
Mix for a few seconds with a mixer so that the acid disperses and the protein becomes more homogeneous.
Then add powdered sugar little by little, mixing quickly with a mixer.
I add powder in three or four doses. By the way, all numbers (I mean weight) are relevant only for this powdered sugar. Of all the ones I tried (and there weren’t many of them; we have a very limited assortment on sale), this one worked, the others absolutely didn’t. It is important that the powdered sugar is finely ground - that’s what powder is, not sand. You can rub it with your fingers to make sure it's not too sharp and nothing crunchy. Starch in the composition is not scary, at least it doesn’t bother me.
But if you have a different powder, try to navigate by the consistency of the glaze. If you run a spoon over the surface of the glaze, grooves remain that close and align in a few seconds.
Instead of flavoring and coloring, add instant coffee.
Mix coffee in a tablespoon hot water. If necessary, heat in a water bath until the coffee is completely dissolved.
Add coffee concentrate to the glaze.
Stir until smooth. The filling glaze is ready.
In order to get contour glaze, simply leave a spoonful of filling and add additional powdered sugar to it until it reaches a thicker consistency. Here you don’t need to check the thickness of the glaze down to the gram – let it be thicker, that’s all.
As a result, we will get two cornets with coffee glaze - filling and contour. You can cover cookies with it.
To apply the icing more evenly, you can lightly outline the application outline with a simple pencil directly on the cookies.
First we draw the outline. We outline the holes and outer borders with contour glaze.
And immediately fill these outlines with filling glaze.
We glaze all the cookies this way. The indicated portion of ingredients will yield approximately 25 pieces. Let the glaze dry thoroughly - at least five hours. Then we thread ribbon through the holes and tie notes with predictions.
That's all. The surroundings and mysterious atmosphere are yours.
