== Manufacturers == [[File:Fortune cookie factory.jpg|thumb|right|Hot fortune cookies being folded around paper fortunes at Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory]] There are approximately 3 billion fortune cookies made each year globally, the majority of them consumed in the US.<ref name="solving" /> The largest manufacturer of the cookies is [[Wonton Food, Inc.]], headquartered in [[Brooklyn]], New York. They make over 4.5 million fortune cookies per day. Other large manufacturers are [[Baily International]] in the [[Midwest]] and [[Peking Noodle]] in [[Los Angeles]]. There are other smaller, local manufacturers including [[Tsue Chong Co.]] in [[Seattle]], [[Keefer Court Food]] in [[Minneapolis]], [[Sunrise Fortune Cookie]] in [[Philadelphia]], and [[Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company|Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory]] in [[San Francisco]]. Many smaller companies will also sell custom fortunes. Manufacturing processes vary, but they generally follow the same procedure. The ingredients (typically made with a base of [[flour]], [[sugar]], [[vanilla]], and [[sesame seed oil]]) are mixed in a large tank and squirted onto fast moving trays. These function like a conveyor belt and are heated to cook the dough. Cookies are compressed with round hot plates to shape and cook them. The cookies bake for approximately one minute and are reshaped. They can be mechanically shaped or folded by hand. When automated, a machine folds the cookie into the correct orientation with the fortune inside. Cooled and hardened cookies are sealed in plastic wrappers, which are inspected before being shipped. Today, most cookies are produced in the United States with the biggest factory located in Brooklyn.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/02/fortune-cookies-you-will-find-love-wednesday_n_5737168.html|title=This Is How Fortune Cookies Are Made|last=Bratskeir|first=Kate|date=September 2, 2014|work=Huffington Post|access-date=April 6, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref>
