This recipe is just too cool and fun!I made these to go around my birthday cake and filled them with funny fortunes for my family. Everyone LOVED them. The only change I made was to add vanilla extract instead of the other 2 extracts and I used a tiny bit of water to thin the dough enough to pouring consistency. I had no problems folding the cookies, it was actually fun. I do love a challenge!! I made about 2-3 cookies at a time, could have maybe done more but did not want to push my luck. I will definitely make these again. They are certainly "creative cooking"..lol. Thank you so much!

I made this same recipe (except 1 t vanila and 1 t almond) for invitations to a gathering several months ago. I'm not even sure now where I found mine. Example for my invitations.. You will have a wonderfull time on Saturday nite ... They were so popular! I must say by the time I had made 50 of them I could not believe anyone would want to eat one (I didn't even want to look at one!) But other than being told how creative I was, they all commented on how great the taste was. I've also used them for valentines day for my husband (wink). They are time consumming and hard on your fingers (plan on getting burned a little) however I experimented w/ several recipes and this one is truely the best and least likely to just end up in the trash. You do need to plan on a few trial and error ones though. Have fun w/ them!

What a Fortune, that I found this cookie recipe. It is great. I love their taste of almond and lemon. And there softness inside and crispiness outside of the cookies. And you can fille them with your own fortune stripes. What a cute present and wonderful surprise.The dough is very easy to make. I used a tablespoon to spread the dough and found it very easy to do. I baked them on baking paper andcould remove them easily. I took them out of the oven one by one. So the forming was easy and could be done quickly. I let them cool out as suggested in muffin forms. They are really a hit. Great recipe. Try them and have much fun. Thanks for sharing.

I had hoped to find a recipe to use for fortune cookies for my wedding. After trying a few that turned out awful, this was to be my final attempt! The cookies turned out great. It is a slow process, but worth it!

These are toooo much fun! I found that using my finger to spread the dough worked the best. Additionally, take your cookies out before the edges turn brown - and remember that it takes about 10 minutes of cooling time before they harden, so don't overcook them beforehand!

When we had a problem getting them to work in the oven, I resorted to making them like mini pancakes with a hot, nonstick pan, one at a time. Once we got the right consistency on the batter they worked much easier for us than in the oven. I'm thinking we probably missed something in the recipe since we were doing it for one of those late evening school projects! Thanks for giving us something to work off of.

Tasted Amazing. My mom and I messed up the entire recipe otherwise. We could't fold it the corect way and our eggs didn't end up quite right, yet the batter, and final product, was great!

this was just fantastic! i also gave these to my boyfriend on valentines day with special little fortunes. actually they were like little messages such as "you are the most handsome guy on the planet" i even had lucky numbers on the bottom and some even had learn Chinese. i honestly thought he wouldn't eat anymore after 3 but i was wrong he actually likes the recipe. all you need is practice to perfect the folding technique after that you wont even notice your burned fingers haha
