The fortune cookie is believed to have been invented in the early 20th century in California, with two individuals often credited: David Jung, a Chinese immigrant and founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company, and the Japanese-American Makoto Hagiwara, who served them at his tea garden in San Francisco. The cookies were created as a playful way to provide positive messages and fortunes, appealing to the American fascination with Chinese culture. Over time, they became a staple in Chinese-American cuisine, often served as a dessert in restaurants.
