Fortune cookies were first invented in what country?

Though they are far more famous for their association with Chinese cuisine, the first fortune cookies actually came from Japan. Then, the product crossed the sea and became a staple of American-Asian restaurants in the San Francisco area. The humble cookies have since become forever associated with Chinese cuisine in the United States, though they really have nothing to do with China.
