4.Drop a teaspoon of batter onto a lined baking sheet and using the back of a spoon, spread very thinly into a 4-inch circle. Repeat so there are 2 circles on the baking sheet. Bake until it just begins to get golden in colour, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven, and while still hot, place a paper fortune across the centre of the cookie. Fold up the edges so that it forms a semi circle, and almost simultaneously, fold down the sides of the semi-circle to create an upside down u. Place in an empty egg carton and let harden.
