Place your circle template on the backside of your cardstock and trace as many circles as you need with your pencil. Cut out each circle.

Choose one of the cut circles and gently fold it in half. Tightly crease only the very center - do not crease across the entire circle.

Fold the circle in half again, this time in the opposite direction from the crease you just made. (This first crease will now be perpendicular to your new fold.)

Carefully push the fold to the center while using your thumb and middle finger to bring both ends together.

Add a fortune slip into one of the side openings before bringing both ends completely together. Add a small dab of glue near the fold to hold the cookie's shape.

Use a clothespin to hold the cookie together until the glue dries.

Place the cookies in a jar for safekeeping, and you're done!
