Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine garlic, cream cheese, crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. To prevent wonton skins from drying, prepare only 1 or 2 rangoon at a time. Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wonton skin. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Moisten one of the bottom corners. Create a crown by pulling both bottom corners together and sealing. Arrange the rangoon on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

CRABBY CREAM CHEESE WONTONS
Wonton wrappers are filled with cream cheese, crab meat (I use imitation, but you can use either), garlic, and onions. You just have to heat them so the cheese is melted hot. Don't overcook. Serve with rice and sweet and sour sauce. Good as an appetizer, or meal.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to chop the crab meat finely so that it evenly distributes throughout the wontons.
- Add other ingredients to the crab filling, such as chopped vegetables, herbs, or spices, to taste.
- Use wonton wrappers that are not too thick, or the wontons will be difficult to fry.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the wontons. If the oil is not hot enough, the wontons will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the wontons. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the wontons will not cook evenly.
- Fry the wontons in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the wontons immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
