I am not aware of this idiom. Supposedly, it is something that occasionally shows up in a fortune cookie. There is no known idiomatic meaning; it's just something humorous to put into a cookie.
The correct idiom is that's how the cookie crumbles, and it's said after something disappointing has occurred in a seemingly random action. For example, if you wanted to go on a picnic and it rained, you might say, "Well, that's how the cookie crumbles."
It is just an idiom and has no history.
