There are two histories for the fortune cookie. Both have ties to Asia, but the invention is definitely an American one.
The Chinese-American inventor. In 1916, a Los Angeles noodle-maker named David Jung devised a way to put paper messages into baked cookies. There was a long tradition in China, dating back centuries, where secret messages were passed inside buns. Jung's cookies were said to have contained Confucian sayings; another source says his fortunes were actually Bible verses he got from a minister friend.
The Japanese-American inventor. Another version of the story says that two years before, in 1914, a Japanese immigrant named Makoto Hagiwara invented the fortune cookie to say thank you to those who had stood by him when he had lost his job as the gardener at the Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park just because of anti-Japanese feelings. He drew upon a Japanese tradition in Kyoto, where a food known as tsujiura senbei was created: crackers which held papers with fortunes.
Which is right? I don't know. They both have the ring of truth about them. You choose.
For you hardy souls who have time to spare, here's a recipe for making the cookies, so you can put your own messages in them.
Prepare fortunes by writing messages on about 20 strips of paper.
TIPS:
-- These cookies cool very quickly and get stiffer as they cool, so only bake two or three at a time, since you want to bend them into shape around the message while they're still warm.
-- and because of the heat of the half-baked cookies, it's best to use white cotton gloves, to have protection and still have dexterity.
-- To form into the crescent shape, have a thin-edged bowl or pan on hand, along with a muffin pan.
Preheat the oven to 300F.
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz . flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 egg whites
4 ounces vegetable oil
1 teaspoon water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir in the oil, egg whites, water, and vanilla. On a well-greased baking sheet, roll a very thin 4-inch circle of dough and bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
Take out one cookie at a time from the oven with a wide spatula; work quickly through these four steps:
1. Flip cookie onto cotton gloved hand.
2. Hold fortune in center of soft cookie while folding cookie in half.
3. Grasp ends of cookie and draw gently down over edge of muffin pan to crease at center of cookie.
4. Fit cookie in muffin pan (points down) to hold shape as it cools. If cookie hardens too quickly, put it back in the oven for about 1 minute.
Store in airtight container.

Different versions started in 1950's and still survive
Here is 1 of them :
The Neiman-Marcus Cookie Story
My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because our family are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and they said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not." Well, I said, would you let me buy the recipe? With a cute smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much, and she responded, "Two fifty." I said with approval, just add it to my tab.
Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.00." Boy, was I upset!! I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them the waitress said it was "two fifty," and I did not realize she meant $250.00 for a cookie recipe. I asked them to take back the recipe and reduce my bill and they said they were sorry, but because all the recipes were this expensive so not just everyone could duplicate any of our bakery recipes....the bill would stand. I waited, thinking of how I could get even or even try and get any of my money back.
I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250.00 and now I'm going to have $250.00 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus for nothing. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "I'm sorry but this is the only way I feel I could get even," and I will.
So, here it is, and please pass it to someone else or run a few copies....I paid for it; now you can have it for free. (Recipe may be halved):
2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. soda
2 cups sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal**
24 oz. chocolate chips
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.
** measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder.
Do not send this around unless wasting bandwidth is your goal in life. Everyone has already gotten it like 500 times unless they are brand new to the internet.

1 - A furry blue monster from Sesame Street who takes out his sexual frustration on baked goods.
Me want COOKIE!
2 - Pronoun: Name of arguably the greatest muppet ever to grace the popular children's show Sesame Street. When not munching down dangerous amounts of cookies he was destroying the set around him with his huge girth and even huger mouth. A legend in every sense, capturing brilliantly the rampant, bloodthirsty selfishness that every human locks deep in his or her psyche.
"Okay. Me not eat cookie. Me eat.......EVERYTHING ELSE!"
3 - Beloved Hungarian born Sesame Street regular, who fled Budapest after the 1956 Soviet Invasion. He emmigrated to Zaire (now The Democratic Republic of Congo), and taught languages to the Luba tribe, including English.
He was hired in 1967 to teach the letters of the alphabet on a PBS pilot "Sesame Street" and continued to commute between Sesame Street to his classroom in Zaire, when scheduling permitted. Houston Rocket Great Dikembe Mutombo was a former English student of his, and they often dine together in New York.
With the overwhelming fame that came from the success of "Sesame Street", Monster drew attention to issues near and dear to himself. He demonstrated outside the Soviet Embassy following the invasion of Czechoslovakia, and was a constant presence on Television round table discussions during the Polish Solidarity movement of the early 80s He is also an outspoken advocate for Diabetes research (having been diagnosed in 1962).
When the wall fell, the Cookie Monster was finally reunited with his wife Ildiko and his now grown two sons. His daughter died of mad cow disease in 1975, having never seen him again since his flight from Budapest. Hungarian television blocked access to public television, and denounced Cookie Monster as a traitor and a thief. Ildiko died in 1992 during a grease fire in her new home in Paris.
He currently lives in Monaco with his new wife Prairie Dawn and their three children. He serves as a special ambassador to the UN Human Rights committee, and is also acting as special liaison in the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
The Cookie Monster is subject to seizures and violent outbursts, which have taken a toll on his furry blue intestinal tract.

''Grandma, I went to the bathroom to pee and bb's came out.''
"Suzy," Grandma said. "I know you've been eating cookie dough. Sit down." Then Jill came down and said ''Grandma, I went poo and there were bb's in it.''
"Jill, I know you've been eating cookie dough. Sit down." About five minutes later little Billy came.
''Grandma something terrible has happened, I was jerking off in the garage and I shot the cat!''

Q: Why did the cookie go to the doctors office?
A: Because it was feeling crummy.
An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands.
With labored breath, he leaned against the doorframe, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven. Spread out upon newspapers on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted; the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth; seemingly bringing him back to life. The aged and withered hand, shakingly, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife.
"Stay out of those," she said. "They're for the funeral." Quote
