Hi from the Critique Club!
This challenge has been really interesting because of the odd things people have chosen as their subject. Here is yet another unique choice.
I like the background and the way it changes from white to blue moving out from the center. It has an ice cool feel to it, so you almost feel something cold of frozen should be the subject. However I think the background is competing with the subject for attention, it's a little too dominant.
The red lettering on the fortune paper is nicely placed against the white part of the background, so that it stands out and also absorbs some of that blue. But the left part of the cookie is a little too much in the centre of the image.
The focus is fine on the lettering, but the cookies and crumbs are out of focus. These cookies should have a lovely texture, but all that detail is lost due to the aperture setting. F2.8 is a very shallow depth of field, and it also lets a lot of light in, hence the strong white of your background. A smaller aperture would ensure the whole of your subject was in focus and the highlights less harsh. The out of focus crumbs are a little distracting.
A nice idea!

| Lighting is a bit harsh on the background. Focus is okay. Seems a bit noisy in parts of the image. |
