FAQ

A fortune cookie is a crisp and sugary cookie wafer made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and sesame seed oil with a piece of paper inside, a fortune, an aphorism, or a vague prophecy. The message inside may also include a Chinese phrase with translation and/or a list of lucky numbers used by some as lottery numbers.
The edible portion of a fortune cookie contains approximately 20 calories in an 8-ounce serving, according to Panda Express. Although the calorie count is not huge, you also forgo consuming a healthy food — fortune cookies offer little to no nutritional value.
In my experience, this depends upon the fortune cookie. Some have eggs, some don't.
Making the cookies requires a bit of practice and quick fingers, but it's a fun project. Take care, as the cookies must be shaped when hot. Recipe note: The baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 weeks or frozen for several months.
The latest history of the fortune cookie is that it originated in Japan. A wood block image from 1878 shows what seems to be a Japanese street vendor grilling, fortune cookies. They can still be found in certain districts of Kyoto Japan, but are larger and darker than the fortune cookie we are familiar with.
