  6. Drop a tablespoon of cookie batter on lined baking sheets and spread evenly into a 4-inch circle using the back of the spoon. Repeat separating each cookie about 3 inches apart. You can only bake 3 cookies at a time because they will set quickly after bake. This will allow you time to shape each fortune cookie.

Remove the fortune cookies from the oven, carefully remove each cookie using a spatula and place the fortune message in the middle, then using the top lip of a cup, bend and fold the flat side of the cookie downward by bringing the two edges together creating the fortune cookie shape. Immediately place the fortune cookie with the ends down into a muffin pan to set.
