Joels answer made me think a bit and I believe I found an interesting solution for $f(x)$ :

$ f(x) = \begin{cases} ix & \text{if } Im(x) = 0 \\\ \cos(ix) & \text{if } Re(x) = 0 \end{cases}$

It is of course a bit of a trick (reminds me of Wick Rotation), but I it works for all $x\ \epsilon\ R$, because

$f(f(x)) = \cos(i(ix))=\cos(-x) = \cos(x)$
