Where are Fortune Cookies from?
America
Despite their association with Chinese cuisine, fortune cookies were actually invented in California by Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century. Called the tsujiura senbei, the original “fortune crackers” were larger, darker, and made with different ingredients than their modern chinese “fortune cookie” counterparts, which later included vanilla and butter. Somehow, they became associated with Chinese restaurants in the US.
