Just like fireworks and chop-sticks fortune Cookies were inspired by the Chinese but blended with the many cultures that now influence our food scene. Fortune Cookies are made from a thin, light, delicious, batter which are folded in half to make the familiar crescent shape, which is about 2 inches long. They are then baked until they are a beautiful light golden brown colour. Each Fortune Cookie is then sealed in its own little bag. The real secret of Fortune Cookies is the message on a slip of paper carefully hidden inside the Cookie. Traditionally, the message is in the form of a proverb or prediction. They are all secret until the cookie is opened.
