Need to make something quick for your Valentine? Try these cute paper fortune cookies with sweet messages of love inside!
Cut out 4" circles. Gently fold one in half, only creasing about 1" in the middle (don't crease the entire fold). Open the circle. Then loosely fold it in half (holding it together on the open side, but not creasing it at all) halfway around the circle, so that your crease is vertical across the horizontal bottom. Then take your other hand and hold the ends of the bottom with your thumb and third finger, pressing into the crease in the middle with your index finger. As the cookie starts popping into place, take out your index finger, holding the two sides together. While still loosely holding it, slide a message inside and then glue it together in the middle (between the two sides you pulled together) so that it doesn't pop back open. What a sweet surprise for your Valentine!
We hope that your Valentine's Day and this whole month is filled with love!
