This factory offers free tours and promises to not only show how fortune cookies are made; but also how the fortune is inserted inside of the cookie.
Fornia also offers customized fortune cookies in an assortment of flavors.

Visitors get to see how the batter mixture is injected into the cookie making machine and then see the round little cookies come out the other end. These cookies are then quickly picked up, message inserted and folded, before they go hard.
Tour participants take home a bag of cookies.

Mee Mee Bakery has been making fresh fortune cookies since 1950. It also makes fresh breads, almond and sesame cookies, and Chinese pastries. Reservations are not needed.

"Small Space, Massive Amounts of Cookies!"
Gee this tight little space churns out a lot of fortune cookies! The nice lady behind the counter gave the kids and me a little tour of where and how they make the cookies. We walked out with a big bag of cookie materials that didn't cut it to become full fledged fortune cookies. My daughter thought the process was interesting and enjoyed watching a cookie develop from the blob of dough dropped into the track taking it down through the mechanisms and taking shape into a cookie.

You’ll think you’ve traveled back in time as you watch the women in this tiny factory turn dough into fortune cookies. Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company has been in operation since 1962.
