I was asked to come up with some fun and out of the ordinary stuff for a bar mitzvah.
One of the things i was thinking about was fortune cookies dipped in chocolate (only half of it) and then rlled in sprinkles to match the decor. Then we would personalize the cookie message.
Has anyone ever made forune cookies? Are they hard to make and time consuming? I guess i will do a trial run on a recipe to see how long it takes but if anyone has some experience i would appreciate it.
thanks,
S |

Wow, myluckyfortune sure makes these affordable! I'd definitely order them and like Honeydukes suggests, persoanlize them by dipping and adding sprinkles. |

Hi! I made fortune cookies and they were delicious! The only problem I had is that the recipe had butter in it and the butter stained the fortune (most unappealing IMHO). The recipe I used was from the Martha webstie (http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/fortune-cookies?autonomy_kw=fortune%20cookies&rsc=header_2). Again, it was a lovely tuille cookie and delicious, but again, the butter stained the fortune, so watch out for that ingredient. I think that there are other recipes that don't have the butter, but that will change the taste. If you find one that works, please tell us about it!  I just haven't had time to experiement with it more. |

Could you use a different type of paper? Most of the options I'm thinking of might be too bulky to work, though. |

Regarding the paper, it was recommended with the Martha recipe to "Write your message on a long strip of sturdy art paper, such as Japanese moriki." Perhaps the butter does not stain that type, but I didn't have any on hand to try. I used normal paper and also used a different technique, putting the fortune in right before forming it, so perhaps letting it cool first may affect the butter staining (but I am not betting so based on the fact that cooled butter cookies will leave a butter stain). If someone find a good recipe that doesn't leave the the butter staining on the fortunes, please post! |

I have a recipe I've used before that uses margarine. I don't remember it staining the paper at all. I'll look for it and send it to you. It's been a while since I made them. You'll have to practice shaping them, but once you get it, even though you only make a few at a time, it goes really fast. |

Here's another thought - try using rice paper with your message written using an edible marker. Or, print on typing paper and have your local bakery/market make an edible images of the whole sheet of paper and then cut into lengths as necessary. Not sure if that's Kosher or not though. |
