Look at this sentence:

Jackson’s eyebrows raised and his eyes got a soft glow in them.

How about: "his eyes glowed." Avoid "got" by all means. You can add the "softly" if you feel you need it.

One final note: Plastic wrappers on fortune cookies don't "conceal" them, at least not the ones I've seen.

Both points duly noted. These and the hardened batter seem to be easy fixes given how much dislike there was. Fair enough.
