Alright, listen up! First, we gotta get that oven screaming hot. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Get a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This ain't no time for sticking!

Now, for the crunch! Take those fortune cookies and crush 'em up. We're not looking for dust here, we want some texture, some bite! Large, irregular pieces, like you just smashed 'em with your cleaver. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed fortune cookies, melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and that beautiful cinnamon. Toss it all together until every piece is coated. This is where the magic starts!

Spread that glorious mixture in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Into the inferno it goes! Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and super crispy. Keep an eye on it, we want crunch, not charcoal! Once done, pull it out and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This is crucial for maximum crispiness. Boom!

While our crunch is cooling, let's whip up that vibrant matcha glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and matcha powder. Make sure there are no lumps, we want smooth, silky perfection. Gradually add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until you get a smooth, pourable glaze. Then, hit it with that vanilla extract. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more milk; too thin, a little more powdered sugar. You're the chef, make it right!

Once the fortune cookie crunch is completely cool – and I mean COMPLETELY cool, otherwise that glaze will just melt away – transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour that stunning matcha glaze over the top. Now, gently toss with a spatula until every single piece of crunch is beautifully coated in that green goodness. This is where the flavor bomb explodes!

Spread the glazed crunch back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Let it sit and set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or even better, pop it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to speed things up. We want that glaze to harden and lock in that flavor. Patience, young grasshopper!

Now for the final flourish, the presentation! If you're feeling fancy, drizzle with melted white chocolate, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and for that extra 'Wolf of Wok Street' touch, a little edible gold leaf. Serve it up and watch those faces light up! This ain't just a snack, it's an experience! Bangali fish all fire!
