The History of Fortune Cookies
Despite their association with Chinese cuisine, fortune cookies were likely invented in California by Japanese-American immigrants in the early 1900s. They became a staple of American-Chinese restaurants by the mid-20th century.
The tradition of placing wisdom and prophecy inside food goes back much further. Ancient Greeks placed messages inside cakes, and Chinese soldiers during the Moon Festival rebellion hid messages inside mooncakes.
