A fortune cookie is a crisp and slightly sweet cookie made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and sesame seed oil. It typically contains a small slip of paper inside with a fortune or a proverbial message. These messages often include words of wisdom, prophecies, or vague predictions about the future.

Fortune cookies are commonly served in Chinese restaurants as a treat at the end of a meal, and they have become associated with a fun tradition of sharing and interpreting the fortunes they contain.
