Do you know how fortunes are added to the fortune cookies?
Any visit to a Chinese restaurant will make you know more about the origin of fortune cookies as a part of Chinese tradition. After your meal is over, it is likely to happen that you’ll get a fortune cookie as a complement. And it will definitely make you wonder how those slips of paper are placed inside those hard & closed shells of cookies. Other than that, you can also get personalized fortune cookies at bakeries & restaurants in China & Japan as well. The origin is disputed in nature & it is quite uncertain as to which story we should rely upon. But whatever it is. The ultimate reality says that you are having a dish named ‘fortune cookie’ in this world.
If you still don’t know what a fortune cookie is all about, these are small cookies, golden in color in their simplest form while varied in textures & patterns in the form of personalized fortune cookies. The size is such that it can fit into your palm. But their unique shape of a butterfly & a paper piece of words of fortunes add another value.
About making of personalized fortune cookies, the basic thing is that they are put into the oven as flat circles of the batter for baking. Then they are taken back & slips of fortunes are added into them when they are still warm & soft to get things added into it. It is in this state that that these fortune cookies get their fortunes. With time, these cookies cool down & become hard.
I think this much amount of explanation will clear all the doubts & information about a fortune cookie. And if something is left, it’s the related historical account. There is a belief that it war first created by Japanese in San Francisco which he served in his restaurant along with tea. There is another group which says that a fortune cookie was once invented by a Chinese. That person have claimed to have made the cookies after reading excerpts from Bible & distributed them to the beggars & needy people next to his place.
No matter how confusing the history is, the taste & crunch of a cookie isn’t affected by it.
