Make fortune cookies at home. The best holiday cookie recipes for the New Year with photos

We so often surprise our family with the taste and appearance of baked goods or any other dishes that we simply forget that we can turn it into a kind of game. So, with the help of cookies you can confess your feelings or predict your fate, as they do in China. But why, if the Chinese are doing it, can't we do the same? Firstly, the method of preparing such cookies seems at all original, and secondly, the process of inventing various phrases that you will place inside the cookies is quite creative. As for the taste of the cookies, it is very original, and resembles koala cookies or a slightly flattened sponge cake. Although here, most likely, I am judging the cookie recipe, because it resembles the cooking method using chicken eggs. So let's get started.

Ingredients:

• chicken proteins – 2 pieces;
• wheat flour – 60 grams;
• powdered sugar – 50 grams;
• vegetable oil – 3 tablespoons;
• salt - a pinch;
• dye - optional.

• total cooking time: 20 minutes;
• total number of cookies: 12 pieces.

How to make fortune cookies:

1. First you need to prepare the filling for our cookies. You can find templates for wishes and predictions on the Internet, or you can write something from the bottom of your heart. For the master class, I chose wishes taken from the Internet. Afterwards, as soon as you print or write the text, you should cut it into thin strips that will definitely fit into our future cookies.

2. Beat the chicken whites in a completely dry and clean bowl. It is advisable to add salt to them so that the process goes faster and more actively. As soon as you get a stable but slightly loose mass, add powdered sugar. The mass will become more tender and homogeneous, almost perfectly white. Using a kitchen spatula or spoon, place it in a bowl.

3. Using a sieve, add wheat flour to the whites. Mix everything with a spoon, from bottom to top and from right to left. We do not use a mixer at this stage when preparing this type of dough. After flour, vegetable oil is added to the dough and everything is mixed again.

4. The dough is ready!

5. Typically, parchment paper is used when making these cookies. Some people use a silicone mat, but for some reason I didn’t experiment with it. And it’s much easier to draw circles of the same size on paper. The dough should be spread on parchment and put into the oven. Bake the cookies for about 5-7 minutes until the edges are golden. Recommended heating temperature is 200 degrees.

6. Ready-made cookies must be removed from the oven one by one, otherwise they will harden very quickly and become unyielding. Once you have extracted it, place your prediction or wish in the center.

Please note that I wear gloves. I am not yet able to withstand the hot temperature of cookies just taken out of a hot oven. You can do the same.

7. As soon as the filling is inside, press the edges of the cookies together and make a “dumpling” out of it.

8. The dumplings should be pressed against the edge of the glass as shown in the photo. Explaining this action in words will not be so easy.

9. The finished cookies should be placed in a narrow container so that they take shape. If you do not fix the cookies with wishes, they will turn back into dumplings from the 7th step.

10. Dry the cookies in the air for a couple of minutes and they can be easily broken, but meanwhile, they will remain as tender and tasty as it was originally intended.

Bon appetit and have a nice evening!!!

Best regards, Yulia.

Chinese fortune cookies resembled the currency of the time: shells. And the predictions, as a rule, promised wealth.

Cooking sequence

Let's start cooking. The first step is to prepare your predictions. Because cookies cook quickly, you need to shape the finished cookies even faster. Predictions are written on a small piece of paper about 6 cm long.

1. We take out parchment paper. Place it on a baking sheet and spread the dough on it.
2. You need to make small round ones pancakes with a diameter of 7-8 cm. To make them even, you can draw circles on the parchment with a compass. You can also use round shapes without a bottom. Once the dough is applied, you can put the cookies in the oven.
   
   
3. I'm heating up the oven up to 180 degrees and bake 5 minutes.
4. When the cookies have browned a little, take them out of the oven. It needs to be formed while it is hot. Because when the cookies cool, they will become brittle and brittle. You can remove the cookies from the parchment with a spatula, as they tend to stick.
   
   
5. Take the fortune paper and place it on the cookies. It can be unfolded, or it can be folded several times. Then fold the cookies in half to make a semicircle.
   
   



6. Bend the cookies over the edge of the glass and let cool in this form. Can be placed in the same glass or in a mold for baking cupcakes so that the cookies do not unfurl.

Description

Fortune Cookies is a dessert prepared according to a Chinese recipe and is a delicious pastry with a note inside. The preparation of this dish is simple. But it will be an excellent addition to tea during a friendly meeting, New Year's celebration or even with its help you can propose to your loved one in an original way.

Fortune cookies were first made in the 14th century by a Chinese man named Zhu Yuan Zhang. He, like most people in China, respects the harvest festival called Zhongqiujie. Every year, it was on this holiday that Zhu Yuan prepared traditional cookies in large quantities, but he received well-deserved fame only after carrying out a secret operation. This operation consisted of secretly notifying all residents of the uprising without attracting attention to oneself. And then Zhu decided to make cookies, inside of which there would be a note with text. After a while, the cookies were prepared and received by the people, after which an uprising occurred, 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 the step-by-step recipe with photos.

Ingredients

• 
  (60 g)
• 
  (100 g)
• 
  (150 g)
• 
  (3-4 pcs.)
• 
  (1 tbsp.)

Cooking steps

First, collect all the necessary ingredients and put them on the table. After we are convinced of their complete presence, we proceed to the actual preparation.



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 lush flour mound, as shown in the photo.



Add 125 g of proteins to the sifted flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale on hand, use three large eggs and 4 medium ones.



Add 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 consistency, add spices. Here you don’t have to 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, add a little food coloring.



The next stage of preparation is simpler. Using a spoon, place the dough on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and smooth it out to a thin layer. The diameter of the “pancakes” should be about 10 cm. You can also use molds to make them more round.



We don’t put out a lot of “pancakes” at once, we start with two. The baked dough cools quickly and begins to harden. Bake the circles in the oven at a temperature of about 180 degrees. We determine the baking time ourselves. Once the edges are browned, remove the cookies from the oven.



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



After placing the note, fold the cookies in half.



And now the most interesting stage of preparing cookies with predictions and wishes. Place the folded side of the cookie on a glass or mug. Be careful: it is very hot.



As a result, the cookies become slightly heart-shaped. Often it seems that the cookies are too soft, and this is true. At first, only the crust at the edge is crispy, but then, after an hour, the entire surface becomes crispy. Cookies can be stored in this form for several days. It's time to surprise and delight your loved ones with a delicious dessert. Chinese fortune cookies are loved by everyone without exception.

Cookies with riddles “for a children's party”

These are the same cookies in which you can bake predictions, wishes, and even jokes. They are suitable for a children's party because they are made from simple products that will not harm children. Make the dessert for about 20 minutes; this quantity of ingredients yields 20 servings of cookies.

• Butter – 30 grams.
• Wheat flour – 70 grams.
• Egg white – 3 pieces.
• Powdered sugar – 100 grams.

Cool the whites in the refrigerator, beat them with a broom or fork, gradually adding powdered sugar in a thin stream. Continue whisking until the powder has melted and the whites are smooth. You need to beat the mixture for about 10 minutes, and then just as carefully and carefully add flour, stir the mass without stopping until the lumps disappear.

Place the oil in a deep bowl and leave in the microwave for 30 seconds. You can also melt it in a water bath - you can place a bowl of butter on a pan of boiling water and wait a few minutes until the product melts.

The butter should cool slightly, and only then should it be added to the proteins, flour and powder. If it's too hot, you risk simply boiling the whites. Mix everything well.

Let's make blanks from baking paper in order to give the correct shape to our cookies. You can use molds, but the cookies must be thin, and with molds you may not be able to guess correctly, although if you have already acquired special molds for fortune cookies, things will go faster. Draw circles on paper (diameter about 8-9 centimeters) onto which we will pour the dough. And don’t even pour it, just spread it with a spoon.

We preheat the oven, the cookies will bake at 180 degrees for about 3-4 minutes, usually the edges begin to burn quickly, then we will trim them. Put on gloves and quickly remove the cookies from the oven, place the paper inside, and roll them into the shape of dumplings.

Fortune cookies "crunchy"

These cookies can be prepared for any party, they are only suitable for adults, as they are made with liqueur or any strong alcohol, cognac or whiskey. It is the drink that gives a special aroma, and also makes cookies with wishes very crispy. Makes 36 cookies.

• Butter – 100 grams.
• Sugar – half a glass.
• Amaretto or other alcohol – 1 teaspoon.
• Water – 2 tablespoons.
• Chocolate – 50 grams each of white and black.

Chilled egg whites should be beaten with a broom or blender with sugar until the latter completely melts and foam forms. Now you need to add vanillin and mix again. Gradually add water without stopping stirring the mixture.

The butter must be melted in a water bath or in a microwave oven. Cool a little and then pour into the protein mixture. Mix thoroughly after each added ingredient. Slowly pour in the alcohol, then pour in the flour in a thin stream and stir the dough until smooth. The dough will be liquid, like sour cream.

Preheat the oven well, prepare baking paper (as in the previous recipe we make baking preparations). Bake the cookies for 5 minutes, then quickly place the wish inside and roll, joining the edges. To prevent the dessert from unfolding and sticking together, you can only put it while it is hot in silicone cupcake molds.

Melt the chocolate in a water bath in different bowls, and dip the edges of the cookies, you can sprinkle chocolate chips on top, for example, cookies in white chocolate - dark crumbs, and cookies in brown - white.

Fortune cookies "according to a Chinese recipe"

Such fortune cookies can even be organized for a wedding party, or in the form of invitations - inside the dessert there will be the date and time, as well as the location of the celebration. You can decorate the cookies with ribbons or sprinkle them with something edible.

• Flour – 70 grams.
• Corn starch – 2 tablespoons.
• Salt - a little less than half a teaspoon.

• Sunflower oil – 3 tablespoons.
• Vanilla sugar - half a packet.

The oven can be set to preheat for 15 minutes – 180 degrees. In the meantime, you can write wishes or predictions on thin strips of paper.

Now let's start preparing the dish itself. Place the butter in a water bath or microwave until it melts, let it cool for a few minutes. In a deep bowl, with a mixer, broom or blender, beat the chilled egg whites with melted butter until white foam, then add vanilla sugar and beat the mass again for a few minutes.

Separately, we will prepare another mixture: powdered sugar and flour are sifted into one bowl with corn starch, and salt is added there. Stir and then add to the protein mixture, beat until all lumps of dough disappear. At the end, the dough will be liquid, like for pancakes; if it is thick, pour in a little water.

Spread the cookie dough onto the prepared baking paper and bake the circles at 160 degrees for about 5 minutes. Then quickly place them on the table with a spatula, place the piece of paper with the inscription on it, fold it in half and bend the edges inward. Place the cookies before they have completely cooled in a container, such as a narrow glass or muffin tin, to help them set in the way they should end up.
