Chocolate fortune cookies are a twist on the traditional Chinese-American fortune cookie, as they include cocoa powder or melted chocolate in the dough. Although maintaining the classic crunch of the cookie, these cookies have a rich chocolaty flavor that is a treat for dessert lovers. Many are coated in chocolate, so there is an extra layer of indulgence. Every cookie would harbor an equivalent small slip of paper inside-just as in the traditional fortune cookie-holding a fortune, proverb, or a special personal message.

Why they are called so?
They are called fortune cookies because the original fortune cookie was produced in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The original cookies have a secret fortune inside, be it words of wisdom, a funny saying, or predictions for the future. This tradition remains intact in this chocolate version of the fortune cookie to serve something that is interactive and not just merely a sweet treat.
