Add a sparkling twist to your traditional fortune cookies with this simple and fun recipe.

Ingredients
Glaze
- ¼ cup corn syrup
- ¼ cup water
Decoration
- 2 tsp edible glitter (multiple colors, separated into bowls)
- 40 fortune cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the corn syrup and water until fully combined. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to warm it slightly, making it easier to brush onto the cookies.
- Set up decoration stations: Place each color of edible glitter in its own small bowl and arrange these bowls to create a glitter fortune cookie decorating station for easier access.
- Apply corn syrup glaze: Using a small pastry brush or any food-safe paintbrush, brush the warm corn syrup mixture onto one corner of a fortune cookie, ensuring a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle glitter: Immediately after brushing the glaze, sprinkle your chosen color of edible glitter generously onto the glazed corner to make it stick and sparkle.
- Repeat on second corner: Brush the corn syrup glaze onto the opposite corner of the same fortune cookie, and sprinkle with the same or a different color of edible glitter to create a vibrant effect.
- Complete all cookies: Continue the brushing and glitter-sprinkling process on all 40 fortune cookies until each one is beautifully decorated with glitter on both corners.
Notes
- Ensure the glitter you use is edible and safe for consumption.
- The corn syrup glaze helps the glitter adhere to the cookies but avoid applying too thick a layer to prevent sogginess.
- You can customize the glitter colors based on the occasion or theme.
- Let the decorated cookies dry at room temperature for a few minutes before serving or packaging.
