Answers:
Distinctive among cookies for its unusual folded shape and enclosed message, the fortune cookie is made from four simple ingredients -- sugar, flour, eggs and water.
Fortune cookie-making is highly automated. A machine squirts batter onto griddles in a rotating wheel. As the wheel turns, the flat cookie wafers pass through an oven and are baked at about 375 degrees.
The paper fortunes are loaded into a tray and are released individually. Then a mechanical arm grabs hold of the fortune as another arm sweeps the cookie from the rotating wheel.
After the cookies have cooled and hardened, a worker inspects them to ensure their quality. One of the most common defects occurs when the fortunes do not fall properly into the cookie prior to folding and stick out the side. This worker spends much of her time pushing fortune cookie papers back into the cookie. The inspection breaks the flow of the automotization of the cookie-making process.
Fortune cookies which pass manual inspection now return to mechanized processing. An employee loads the cookies onto a conveyor belt, which sends them to a machine that wraps cookies in individual plastic packages.
