So, fortune cookies: invented by the Japanese, popularized by the Chinese, but ultimately consumed by Americans. They are more American than anything else.

People think of fortune cookies as being Chinese, but in essence, they are fundamentally American.
The best cookies of all in the world are the ones my daughter Sally makes. They come out all uniform with nice little air holes.
I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet, you know? They're incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays.
I am obsessed with Chinese restaurants. Like many Americans, I first discovered them in my childhood.
I'm very lucky because I love fruit and to this day, that has saved me because I'd much rather have fruit than cookies.
In China's big cities, American products - say, for instance, Proctor and Gamble shampoos or many other goods - are widely coveted by a lot of Chinese consumers.
People have got to learn: if they don't have cookies in the cookie jar, they can't eat cookies.
I like Sultana cookies - they are so, so, so good. I think the best in the world.
Chinese culture has a lot of virtues that are tremendously valuable to not only us as Asian-Americans, but also the world in general.
Christmas cookies can't help but be retro - they are memory first, sugar-flour-egg-redhot-gumdrop-sparkle reality second.
