They originated from cookies made by Japanese immigrants to the United States in the late 19th or early 20th century.
As far back as the 19th century, a cookie very similar in appearance to the modern fortune cookie was made in Kyoto, Japan; and there is a Japanese temple tradition of random fortunes, called omikuji. The Japanese version of the cookie differs in several ways: they are a little bit larger; are made of darker dough; and their batter contains sesame and miso rather than vanilla and butter. They contain a fortune; however, the small slip of paper was wedged into the bend of the cookie rather than placed inside the hollow portion. This kind of cookie is called tsujiura senbei (辻占煎餅?) and is still sold in some regions of Japan, especially in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. It is also sold in the neighborhood of Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine in Kyoto.

So Japanese are really just Chinese who were on vacation years ago and found Japan a more better place to live. Free of Tuberculous (probably) but bottom line is they stayed as Chinese in Japan and Evolved As a result one of their greatest achievements was the basis for Fortune cookie
Later they took the rong turn on energy production except perhaps one day we will have an Atomic Fortune cookie.
