Americans who eat in Chinese-themed restaurants in America tend to get a fortune cookie at their end. This helps them associate Chinese culture with this custom. This delightful treat is actually a result of a tradition that originated in Kyoto, Japan in 19th century. It then made its way to America in the 20th Century.

Some sweet shops in Japan started selling little crackers with messages inside. They were made into different shapes starting in the 1870s. The original crackers were darker in color, and would have contained more sesame and miso than the fortune cookies.

Fortune cookies are a staple of American-Chinese restaurants. They were believed to have been created from this idea by Japanese immigrants who arrived in California and Hawaii in late 1800s and early 1900s.

People love to tell stories about the fortune cookie, which revolves around the Japanese Tea Garden at the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Legend has it that the tea garden was the first place in the area to offer the cookie. It was mady by Benkyodo bakery.

The bakery claims that they invented the butter and vanilla flavoring, which has been used in every cookie since then. The bakery also claims that in 1911 they invented a machine that allowed fortune cookies to be machine-produced instead of being hand-shaped. It is possible that the origins of the modern fortune cookies are not known because three other Los Angeles-based businesses claim to have invented them.
