It's Japanese senbei (aka sembei), a general term for cookie or cracker. The sweet type is often sold as a tea cookie (not necessarily containing tea, but to accompany tea) or as wafer cookies.

They are basically flat fortune-less fortune cookies. Check out the many many fortune cookie recipes and see which one sounds like the one you tasted (buttery? sesame-flavored?, etc.). Made fresh, they are infinitely superior to the individually-wrapped fortune cookies given out in Chinese restaurants in America.

Available online, here, (no idea why it's in Spanish) and here, especially in the ginger versionm which is pure crack.

If your recipe calls for sweet rice flour, Blue Star mochiko from Koda farms is the way to go! I see it sold at Asian markets on the West Coast... hopefully you can find it. If not, Asian imports may be oookaaayyy.
