Fortune Cookie Recipes

As I surfed the web this morning looking for ideas for the blog, I decided to check out Food Network and see if they had any fortune cookie recipes. Boy do they ever! There is a Giant Fortune Cookies Recipe with Pomegranate Granita, and this Hazelnut Fortune Cookie recipe looks so incredible that I want to try it when I get home!

There are also a few different traditional fortune cookie recipes to try out as well.

Cute Fortune Cookies for Kids

Here is a story I received from a customer earlier today. I really think it's a great idea for any kind of kids party, especially birthday parties and class parties. Well, she can tell you better than I can!

Thank you for the wonderful personalized Cherry flavored fortune cookies.
My story: We adopted our daughter from China April 2005. On February 8, 2008 it was her 4th birthday which this year happened to be the day after Chinese New Year started (2/7/08). I asked if I could do a Chinese New Year/Birthday party for her preschool class.
I made cupcakes, used red sprinkles and gold flakes to decorate the icing, then placed a custom fortune cookie on top of each cupcake.
Most of these 3 & 4 year olds did not even know what the fortune cookie was, we had to show them how to break it open and NOT TO EAT THE PAPER inside, it was their fortune. It was a good learning adventure for all of us.
Thank you for your time and efforts. I have attached a picture of the cupcakes.

Cookies for Christening

Here is a pretty unique and fun fortune cookie idea that I received today from one of our customers. They held a Christening at a Chinese restaurant and used chocolate dipped fortune cookies as a favor and decoration at each place setting. Here is what they had to say:

It is kind of hard to tell, but I had white frosted and silver frosted containers with either lite blue or purple ribbon. Each container had one custom fortune cookie inside and we put one container at each place setting. The christening was at a Chinese restaurant and we used a snowflake theme. It was actually snowing the day of the event, so it worked out perfect! I put the remaining fortune cookies in a basket on the dessert table with the same color ribbons.

Thanks again for everything ! A. Panagakos

They even enclosed a picture of how cute the fortune cookie boxes turned out!
I think something similar would be great for any holiday party, corporate get-together, winter weddings, and probably others that I can't think of right now. Plus, with the added touch of your personalized messages in every custom fortune cookies, it makes you a shoe in for the most memorable decor and favors!
