You don't need to add butter just spray your pan. Make sure you use an even pan, mine are all bent and it did effect the cookies. You have to work fast but the job is easier if you wear gloves... i have a pair of "dish gloves" that i use only for food projects.. they worked great! Oh and double the recipe--- because some of your cookies will not work out...

Difficult at first, but fun to make! These little things are addicting.

I did not care for this recipe. The batter was thin and tasted like egg whites.

The batter was too think so I thinned it out, but the cookies still did not turn out crispy. I think I will just stick to buying them from the Chinese restaurant.

My particular cookies aren't uniform or necessarily beautiful, but they are fortune cookies! The recipe was easy, tasty and with a little practice I could do 4 cookies at a time. My daughter is thrilled to be taking them to school.

I'm giving these 5 for cuteness. My daughter and I used this recipe to ask a boy to a dance. We made big ones and put a homemade fortune into it- the invitation to the dance. The taste was not like a conventional fortune cookie, but they didn't taste bad. Not 5 star taste though:) Here is what I did learn. We put 2 on a baking sheet. The grease actually makes it difficult to form the circles (the dough just slides down the sheet) and tilting the pan is the easiest way to get a uniform circle. I found it easier to put them on a silipat sheet with no grease. They did not stick, but where a little tricky to get up. The key is a wide spatula for sure and plastic worked better then medal for me. I also kept the second cookie on the baking sheet while working (folding) the first one because I learned with the first batch that if you let them cool even slightly they will break when you fold them up. We put these in a cute chinese take out box. Thanks for sharing.

Very good tasting cookie and plenty crispy. Baked for 6 minuets. Had trouble spreading batter in perfect circles. I'm going to try adding 2T of water to the batter to help this as suggested by others.
