Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 small paper fortunes
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning)
- Sprinkles or crushed nuts for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add oil, water, and vanilla; whisk until smooth batter forms.
- Drop 1 tablespoon of batter onto prepared baking sheet and spread into a 3-inch circle. Repeat to make only 2-3 cookies per batch (they must be shaped quickly).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 seconds.
- Working quickly, place a fortune in the center of a cookie. Fold the cookie in half to form a half-moon, then gently bend the ends downward over the edge of a cup or rolling pin to create the classic shape. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Repeat with remaining batter, baking and shaping in batches.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper and immediately add sprinkles or nuts. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.
Tips
- Work with only 2-3 cookies at a time; the batter hardens quickly and becomes brittle.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Use white chocolate or dark chocolate for variation.
