" Do they put the piece of paper with the fortune on it inside the cookie before they bake it or after?” Paris scoffed as if it was a ridiculous question, but then paused. “You know, I have no idea. You’d think the fortunes would burn if they went in the oven, right?” “But if you wait until after, how do you slide it in without breaking the cookie?” Paris did a quick search on his phone. “It’s in the middle of the process.” “What do you mean?” asked Rio. “They bake the cookies as flat circles,” Paris answered as he read about it. “Then they put the fortune in and fold the cookie while it’s still warm. When it cools, it holds its shape and the fortune is inside. "
