A Little History of Cookies: A Happy Accident
This classic cookie is somewhat of a modern invention. Back in 1938 Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts whipped up some chocolate chip cookies. However contrary to belief, it wasn’t by accident but by mistake. She chopped up a bar of semi sweet chocolate and decided to mix it in with her sugar cookies and the expectaion that the cookies would marble and the chocolate would melt and marble. Instead, the chunks of chocolate stay perfectly put making for a crunchy texture; an invention called Toll House Crunch! During WWII, so many soldiers received cookies in their mail through care packages it became the nation’s signature homemade cookie!
