Chocolate chip cookies are one the the most
traditional (and yummy!) American
foods, and if you have ever eaten some, you
can certainly understand why.
In 1933, Ruth and her husband Kenneth had
an inn in Massachusetts, where Ruth cooked for all of
her guests.
One day, she was preparing some Butter
Drop Do Cookies for her travelers, when
she realized that she didn’t have the Baker’s
Chocolate that the recipe called for. (Baker’s
Chocolate is a special kind of chocolate used for baking that
melts completely.)
What Ruth had was some Nestlé’s Semi-
Sweet Chocolate bars, so she chopped some up and mixed it into the dough she was
preparing.
The chocolate did not melt into the dough
like Ruth had expected. Instead, it
softened and left little “pockets” of chocolate
in the cookies.
Everyone loved them, and they became so
popular that Ruth even published her recipe in the newspapers! They
were called “Toll House Crunch Cookies”
And we got one of the most delicious treats
ever.
There’s nothing better than warm chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk.
Today, some seven billion chocolate chip cookies are consumed every year in the US.
That’s a lot of cookies!
If you have already tasted one, I am sure
you will join me in saying “Thank you,
Ruth, for making that mistake and not throwing those
cookies in the trash that day!”
Now, if you want the recipe for the Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies, you, or
your parent, can come to our first
Cooking Class, and we will make some!
