Are Fortune cookies COOKIES or CRACKERS?


According to Wikipedia, "a fortune cookie is a crisp cookie usually made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and oil with a "fortune" wrapped inside". Chinese resturants serve the fortune cookies as a dessert. They place a "fortune" inside which is a piece of paper with words of faux wisdom or a vague prophecy. The fortune may also include a gullable Chinese phrase,translation, or a list of lucky numbers that may be used by some as lottery numbers. Therefore, fortune cookies are based by their recipe on a traditional Japanese cracker, but is a cookie that is baked in small circles and served as a dessert.
