For Valentine's Day, a fun activity could be one or both of these 2 types of Fortune cookiesTopped with sugar and filled with well wishes, these colorful confections make a memorable treat.
Ingredients
Chilled 9-inch piecrust Cornstarch
3-inch-wide round cookie cutter or drinking glass
Rolling pin or glass. Nontoxic marker
Slips of paper Water
Colored sugar Cookie sheet
Lay a chilled 9-inch piecrust on a cornstarch-dusted surface. Cut out 3-inch-wide circles with a round cookie cutter or drinking glass. To use all the dough, roll out the scraps with a pin or a cornstarch-dusted glass.
Use a nontoxic marker to write fortunes on slips of paper and place one in the center of each dough circle. F
old the circle in half, then pinch and fold the ends together, as shown.
Brush the top of each cookie with water, then sprinkle on colored sugar. Place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart, sugar side up. Bake them until lightly browned, about 20 minutes, and let them cool before removing them from the pan. Makes about 16 cookies.
For each one, fold a paper cupcake baking liner as shown, slip the note inside, and apply a dot of craft glue to the bottom of the liner to secure it in place.
