Choco Chip Cookies


Some history about  Choco Chip Cookies from http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateChipCookies.html
The Chocolate Chip Cookie is America’s most famous cookie. It was invented in 1930 by Ruth Wakefield, who was the owner of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. The story goes that one day she decided to add small chunks of a Nestle’s Semisweet Yellow Label Chocolate bar to h er butter cookie dough. The chocolate chip cookies were an instant hit with her customers and word of their popularity reached the Nestle company. Nestle must have realized that adding small chunks of their chocolate bar to cookie dough would appeal to the mass market because by 1939 Nestle had already developed and was selling small chocolate morsels (or chips) in a yellow bag. Nestle went on to buy the rights to the Toll House name and Ruth Wakefield’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. They called her recipe “The Famous Toll House Cookie” and printed it on the back of the Yellow bag of chocolate chips
