The recipe itself is refreshingly uncomplicated, requiring just a handful of basic ingredients. The instructions emphasize preparing small slips of paper with custom messages before diving in. The step-by-step process involves sifting dry ingredients, mixing in the wet ones to form a smooth batter, and cooking each cookie individually on a low-heat skillet. The key thrill comes in the quick folding technique: after browning the thin batter circles, you place a fortune in the center, fold it in half, and then over the edge of a bowl before cooling it in a muffin pan. This yields about 8 cookies, making it an ideal small-batch recipe for beginners or those short on time.
