Origin Of Chocolate Chip Cookies
The beloved chocolate chip cookie has a rich history that dates back to the 1930s. Ruth Wakefield, a Massachusetts cook, is credited with creating the original Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookie. The cookie's popularity soared when Nestlé introduced chocolate chips in 1939 and began printing Wakefield's recipe on their packaging. By 1953, Pillsbury had launched a chocolate chip cookie mix, cementing the cookie's place in American hearts. Today, the chocolate chip cookie remains the most popular cookie in the US, a testament to its enduring appeal.
