A Short History of the Chocolate Chip Cookie
Did you know that chocolate chip cookies were invented before chocolate chips? In the late 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield, a chef at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts, chopped up a chocolate bar and added it to her cookie dough, and the rest was history.
It is often reported that Ruth invented the chocolate chip cookie accidentally, and that she had been trying to make chocolate cookies but didn’t have time to melt the chocolate. However, she has said that it was not a mistake. She was looking for a cookie to serve with vanilla ice cream and decided to try something new.
The recipe was so popular that it led to the creation of the chocolate chip as we know it today in 1941. Commercial chocolate chips are specially formulated to retain their shape when baked in the oven.
