Chocolate Chip Cookies Date Back 75 Years, Know How It Was Made

It’s true that chocolate chip cookies date back 75 years. In Tiktok, the original recipe is currently rather popular.

American drop cookies are called chocolate chip cookies

Spooned bits of dough are “dropped” onto a baking sheet and baked in a medium oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until done.

The original recipe calls for flour, butter, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and both brown and white sugar. Some variations include muesli, nuts, etc. You can buy chocolate chip cookies in supermarkets and bakeries, or you can make them yourself.

Ruth Graves Wakefield unintentionally created the chocolate chip cookie. In the middle of the 1930s, she and her husband owned and ran Whitman, Massachusetts’s Toll House Inn. Wakefield made desserts and lunches. She needed Baker’s Chocolate for a recipe of butter drop cookies, but one day she ran out.

She thought the crumbs would melt while the cookie baked, so she chopped up a semi-sweet Nestlé chocolate bar and put it in the batter. The pieces softened but did not entirely melt. The Toll House Cookie was the outcome. Nestlé printed the recipe on their chocolate packaging. Wakefield was given a lifetime supply of semi-sweet Nestlé chocolate in exchange for her consent to publish the recipe.
