These crispy, folded cookies have a hint of buttery sweetness. Break them open, and inside you will find a slip of paper with a note inside. The phrase can range from profound words of knowledge or tangled riddles to simple bits of common sense. Quotes from well-known philosophers are included in some fortunes.
These nuggets of pleasure are most often found at the end of a Chinese meal, but they didn't appear in China. In Japan, where delectable desserts and folding techniques are quintessentially Japanese, the distinctively folded cookie began. However, the fortune was tucked in the fold on the outside of the cookie, despite being in Japan. The fortune cookie immigrated to the United States and made its transition in the late 1800s sometime in the late 1800s. It exploded in popularity during World War II, and Americans have never stopped enjoying them.
