According to Eric Partridge's "Dictionary of Catch Phrases":

that’s the way (or that’s how) the cookie crumbles ... It has been a frequent c.p. in the US since the 1950s and in UK since the middle 1960s... in 1975, Prof. Emeritus F.E.L. Priestley spoke of ‘the now happily obsolete “that’s the way the cookie crumbles”’ and referred to ‘the lovely take-off line in the movie The Apartment [1960] when Jack Lemmon says, “That’s the way it crumbles cookiewise” ’–when he is also deriding ‘the horrible “-wise” jargon of about ten years ago’ (F.E.L.P.).  

Continuing with the catchphrase dictionary:

In The Zoo Story, prod. in Berlin 1959, in New York 1960, and pub’d in 1960, Edward Albee employs the more usual form thus:

 JERRY: And you have children?

 PETER: Yes; two.

JERRY: Boys?

PETER: No, girls. . . . both girls.  

JERRY: But you wanted boys.

 PETER: Well . . . naturally, every man wants a son, but . . .

 JERRY: But that’s the way the cookie crumbles? PETER: (Annoyed.) I wasn’t going to say that.... 

An early instance of its Brit. currency occurs in Patrick Campbell’s Come Here Till I Tell You, 1960, ‘ “Weil . . . that’s how the cookie crumbles.”–“I beg your pardon?”–“It’s a new American expression from the advertising boys on Madison Avenue. A philosophic comment on disaster. One can also say, ‘That’s how the grapefruit squirts’.”’ 

It was a format for a joke back in the 60s. Once you had "That's the way the ball bounces" and "That's the way the cookie crumbles," you could create endless jokes. The only other one I could remember, before I looked around and came up with this book, was the other one you see there: "That's the way the grapefruit squirts." Do you know any others from back when this was a very common way to make a joke? Better yet, can you — looking at our present-day fate — make a joke using that pattern?
