Most popular cookies is the Chocolate Chip Cookie. Fresh out of the oven is how my husband, my kids and I like them best.
Chocolate Chip Cookies are drop style cookie. They traditionally consist of a dough with brown sugar and white sugar and butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in it.
Chocolate chip cookies have many variations. Some are m&m's, oatmeal, and nuts. Some variations include white chocolate too, like white chocolate with macadamia nut for example.
A fun dessert, a cookie-wich made by Mrs. Field is two cookies with a middle layer of frosting. Loads of sugar and loads of calories! Our local Mrs. Fields stand closed luckily for me!
Who do we owe thanks to for this great treat? The Chocolate Chip Cookie was first made by a lady named Ruth Graves Wakefield. They were called Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Where did the "Toll House" part come from? It was the name of the inn owned by Ruth and her husband, Kenneth Wakefield in Massachusetts.
Built on a toll road, the inn was a toll booth of sorts, a restaurant and an inn. Folks would pay tolls there like we pat tolls today.
In the 1940's Ruth Graves Wakefield wrote a cookbook based on the years cooking at the inn. It was a best seller called "Ruth Wakefield's Recipes: Tried and True".
The Wakefield's sold the inn in the 60's. Changes were made to it. By the 70's it was sold again. The owners in the 70's restored it. In the 80's a fire burned it down.
Ruth Graves Wakefield lived til 1977. Her grave is in Massachusetts.
In 1997 it was proposed that the Chocolate Chip Cookie be the official cookie of Massachusetts.
There are billions of chocolate chip cookies eaten each year by cookie lovers everywhere. Thanks Ruth Graves Wakefield for this delicious, classic dessert!
