First print out custom fortunes using any text editor. I used the font Calibri in size 8.
Wet a paper towel and ring slightly. You want the paper towel to be damp but not dripping wet.
Wrap towel around fortune cookie and microwave for 20 seconds.
Unwrap fortune cookie from towel carefully, towel may be hot.
The fortune cookie should now be pliable enough to open.
Quickly removed existing fortune cookie message and replace with your custom printed one.
Reshape fortune cookie (should be fairly simple, as the cookie already has its form) and hold for 10 seconds to keep form.
You want to do the last two steps quick, the fortune cookie cools very quickly.

| Custom message fortune cookie. |
 |
| Wrap damp towel over fortune cookie and microwave for 20 seconds. |
 |
| Open fortune cookie, insert message, hold closed for 10 seconds. |
 |
| Message in fortune cookie before closed. |
Stay tuned, the next post will be on how to customize these fortune cookies by dipping them in chocolate and adding a gumpaste flower.
