Custom Fortune Cookies are a great way to add a personal touch to your event, function or if you are simply entertaining family and friends. Custom fortune cookies can even be a great promotional tool for your business if your unique service offering or company tagline is incorporated into the fortune cookie sayings in an effective manner. There are a number of companies that offer this service on a larger scale and if you require many e.g. thousands for an event this is probably the smarter option for you as most suppliers offer quite reasonable pricing. Just remember to compare prices before committing to a larger order. We have listed popular custom fortune cookie products below.

Doing it Yourself

If however you don’t require large numbers of custom fortune cookies it may be wise to actually make your own which as shown in this article is a relatively simple task. Obviously this allows you to add your very own custom fortune cookie sayings.

Another method if you can’t really be bothered going to the trouble of making your own is to take a batch of existing fortune cookies and heat them to a point where they are pliable enough to open and remove the existing fortune, you can then add your very own custom fortune cookie sayings. The method is quite simple, we have outlined the steps required below just be careful to work quickly.

  1. First heat the fortune cookies (one at a time) for approx. 30 seconds wrapped in paper towel
  2. Next remove the fortune cookie from the microwave and remove the paper towel.
  3. The fortune cookie should now be easily opened so being careful not to burn your fingers gently open the cookie. If you find you need to force the cookie open simply reheat for a further ten seconds. You can use the edge of a butter knife if you require some extra assistance.
  4. Remove the ‘fortune’ already encased in the fortune cookie and using your pre-made fortune cookie saying carefully enclose in the cookie.
  5. Next close the cookie over and hold the shape for a few seconds until it begins to cool and take shape.
This method works quite well and because you are only heating the cookie for a short period of time you wont run any risk of burning the cookie.

Some key points to remember before trying yourself

  • Remember the cookie will not be pliable for long so move reasonably quickly and obviously have your fortune cookie sayings printed and cut to shape ready to go. If working alone you will need to work on one cookie at a time. If this sounds like a long drawn out process you may prefer to consider using one of the suppliers we have listed at the top of this article.
  • Remember to tailor your fortune cookie sayings to the occasion for example if you are an investment company and you are holding a function for your established clients try to avoid cheap humour or anything too tacky. Likewise if you are entertaining for family or friends try to keep the mood of the fortune cookie sayings light and cheerful.
