If you’ve ever tried to make your own fortune cookies, you know how hard they can be. Here is the easiest way to make your own fortune cookies without making your own fortune cookies. How’s that for a riddle?
I made these for our ACOTAR party and called them Prythian’s Prophecies. I used inspirational quotes from the book series A Court of Thorns & Roses, which I’ve included as a free printable to download on this page. But… you can do this with fortune cookies for anything — gender reveal, birthday party, etc.

How to dip and decorate Fortune Cookies
Prepare a cookie sheet with wax paper.
For the ACOTAR fortune cookies, to represent the Night Court, I chose black candy melts and Meteor-themed sprinkles.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the candy melts in 30-second increments, stirring after each time, until they are completely melted and smooth.
If they are not as runny as you like, you can use Wilton’s EZ Thin. I use it all the time to make melted candy melts the right consistency.
Pour sprinkles into a second bowl where the sprinkles are deep enough to dip the fortune cookies.
Dip one side of the fortune cookie into the candy melts and immediately dip into the sprinkles. Sometimes I found it works better to sprinkle the sprinkles over the fortune cookie.
Place the fortune cookie on the wax paper.
Continue working until all the fortune cookies are dipped and covered in sprinkles.
Allow them to sit for 2 hours to harden and dry completely or pop the cookie sheet into the freezer for 10 minutes to harden and dry.
Once they are completely dry, place the fortune cookies into a sealed container until you’re ready to serve them.
