Mix all
ingredients and put in the fridge for half an hour. Line two baking trays
with parchment and make 18 heaps of batter. Flatten the heaps into thin
circles with the wet back of a spoon. Bake the cookies 12 minutes at 175
degrees Celsius. Put a small strip of paper with a wish inside and fold
the cookies in half, and again in half, as on the picture. Work fast, the
cookies will only fold when they are really hot. If the cookies become too
hard, put them back into the oven for a few minutes.

Elodie,
the daughter of

honey (not because the cookies are striped yellow and brown).

Fortune
cookies: even though we normally associate fortune cookies with Chinese
tradition, in China itself the cookies are rarely served, according to
Jennifer 8 Leigh in the book “The
fortune cookie chronicles”. Apparently, they were first served in the
beginning of the 20th century in California by Chinese immigrants
and their concept is based on
Japanese crackers.
