Do you know the origins of the chocolate chip cookie? It allegedly happened at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. While Ruth Graves Whitman was baking cookies for the restaurant one day, she decided to throw in some chunks of chocolate, supposing they would melt. However, they did not.
The famous Toll House Cookie Company emerged from this delicious mistake or experiment. So did the chocolate chip cookie. Now anyone can bake them thanks to the recipe on the bag of Nestle Toll House Chips.
