Ruth Graves Wakefield of Whitman Massachusetts must have been curious what a little bit of chocolate would add to her cookies. While working at the Toll House Inn in 1937, she added cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestle chocolate bar to a cookie recipe and the cookies were a huge success. In 1939 Wakefield signed an agreement with Nestle and her recipe were added to the chocolate bar’s packaging. In exchange for the recipe Wakefield received a lifetime supply of chocolate.
Chocolate chip cookies come in many shapes, sizes and flavours. In some recipes peanut butter or oatmeal is added or the chips are melted before adding them.
