[Recipe Link](https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/ravneet-gill-fortune-cookies/). First time making fortune cookies and learned a lot: * Not a kid-friendly activity – cookies must be shaped quickly while they’re painfully hot. Double up on gloves. * There’s no salt or flavoring listed in the recipe, but these cookies need salt – they’re very sweet. Added vanillla extract and Lorann’s butter vanilla emulsion for flavor. Next time, I’d like to try a recipe with butter. The oil-only cookies are very crunchy; butter might help lighten the texture. * Bake on silicone, not parchment – the edges spread in a wonky way on parchment. * Lightly grease the silicone – I squirted a little baker’s spray and spread it around. But this will make the cookies spread a little, so leave plenty of room in between. If you don’t grease the silicone, the cookies stick and are harder to remove. * Use a small cookie scoop to portion the batter. Spread the batter with an offset spatula. * The colored batter is very drippy and hard to control. I used a very small piping tip, but could have gone even smaller. Maybe food-safe precision-tip squeeze bottles would work better. * The dragged designs cause messy edges. Clean up the edges with a flat edge (like a bench scraper or the end of a ruler). * Very time consuming, since you can only bake 3-4 cookies at a time. Would be better to have someone to help shape the baked cookies, so you can bake more than a few at a time. * You can make giant fortune cookies – I used all the remaining batter to make a final big cookie. Might be fun to fill them with candies, washed and ironed paper money, or tiny trinkets as a party favor.
