Chocolate
Chip Cookie
Chocolate
lovers everywhere bow to the greatness that is Ruth Wakefield's accidental
creation — the chocolate chip cookie. Wakefield was the owner
and occasional cook of the Toll House Inn in Whitman,
Massachusetts. One day Wakefield was making a batch of chocolate cookies when
she ran out of baker's chocolate. Improvising, she used broken pieces from a
Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar thinking the dough would absorb the melted
pieces. Instead, she accidentally created chocolate chip cookies.
Wakefield
called the cookies "Toll House Crunch Cookies" and the recipe was
eventually published in a Boston newspaper. This got the attention of Andrew
Nestlé, the chocolate provider whose chocolate was used in Wakefield's fruitful
mishap. In exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate, Wakefield agreed to let
Nestlé print her cookie recipe on their chocolate packaging. You can still find
the Toll House cookie recipe on Nestlé packaging today!
