How do they get the fortune inside a cookie?

The fortune inside a fortune cookie isn't actually placed there until the very end of the process! Here's how it works:

1. Mixing and Baking: The cookie dough is mixed and baked in a flat, round shape.

2. Folding and Shaping: While still warm, the cookies are folded in half and then folded again to create the familiar crescent shape.

3. Cooling and Filling: The cookies are left to cool, and then a fortune is inserted by hand into the fold of the cookie.

So, the next time you crack open a fortune cookie, think about the person who carefully placed your fortune inside!
