The best part of Chinese takeout is the fortune-filled treat waiting for you at the end of your delicious meal. Sure, vegetable fried rice and chicken chow mein may steal the show during your main course – but it’s all about the dessert!

The crunchy cookie has the perfect amount of subtle sweetness to satisfy your pesky sweet tooth, and now you can make them in the comfort of your own kitchen.

The tutorial below, provided by POPSUGAR food, enlists the help of fortune-cookie veteran Della Gossett from one of the finest Beverly Hills restaurants. The homemade pastries require that you work quickly with precise movements.

Once the batter is made for the vanilla cookies, pop them into the oven for a quick 8-10 minutes. After they have a slightly golden edge, take the cookies out of the oven and place your personalized fortune inside. Finish with a quick fold in half and let the cookies cool in a muffin pan.

The ingredients used are listed below:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rice flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
4 egg whites
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
