Ingredients
Scale
- l egg
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat a pancake griddle. A constant 350 degrees works best. Think: drops of water bounce when dropped on the surface.
- Beat egg until frothy then add in sugar, a little at a time. Beat until mixture is a light yellow and thick. Fold in corn oil. Mix water and a teaspoon of the egg mixture into cornstarch. Stir everything together.
- Drop rounded tablespoon of batter on the griddle and spread with a spoon to the size of a cd. You want the batter evenly thick. Cook both sides until edges brown and can be lifted with a spatula, about 5-ish minutes. If they stick, they need to cook longer.
- Remove from the griddle, place your fortune (prepared in advance) on cookie and fold.
- To fold: Fold opposite edges together into a semicircle. Keep the curved side toward your finger tips, gently pinch with thumbs on top, and move your palms together to bend the cookie into its traditional shape. Set in a muffin tin to cool.
Notes
It’s helpful to have someone on the griddle and another folding the cookies. I also add about a 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract so it tastes super yummy!

Hi, I followed the recipe but my batter was really thin and watery, is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
Start by adding 1 tablespoon of water and oil to the mix. Slowly add more to for the right consistency. If you use too much, add additional sugar and cornstarch.
I need t make 96 of these. Do you know how far ahead of the event I can make them so that they will still be crisp?
How many cookies are in 1 serving?
I made a double recipe this morning. They were super easy and turned out great!!! Can’t wait to share them. Also, 1 recipe makes 12 fortune cookies!
Im 12 years old, and I have Celiac Disease. Would you recommend I make this with my grandma when quarentine is over? Also, is it easy to fold? Pls respond, it would help alot
Make sure the cornstarch is gluten free, GMO-Free gluten free cornstarch (Bob’s Red Mill) (or potato starch or tapioca flour)!!
How far in advance of my event can I make these please, they will be stored in an airtight container
This is great, thanks! My fortune is to be gluten free!
