Instructions

1. Determine the purpose of your message. Do you want to propose to that special girl, encourage a dear friend, get a laugh or impart words of wisdom? Let your objective dictate the message you compose.

2. Read several fortune cookie messages to get a feel for the type of wording used. Duplicate this style to create an authentic-sounding cookie message.

3. Open a blank document in the word processing program on your computer.

4. Set your document margins to 2 inches to 3 inches in width and 1/2 inch in height to duplicate the average size of a fortune cookie message.

5. Type your message into the available space using an 8-point or 10-point font. Adjust the font size to allow you to fit your entire message onto the space.

6. Print your messages onto an 8 1/2-inch-by-11-inch sheet of paper.

7. Cut your messages down to size, so they fit into the homemade or premade cookies.
