Toll house Chocolate Chip Cookie history and recipe for families

One of the greatest mistakes in history is also one of the most delicious. The chocolate chip cookie was first made in the kitchen of the Toll House Inn.

The original Toll House Inn built in 1709 was a place where travelers paid a toll, changed horses, and ate home-cooked meals.  In 1930 Kenneth and Ruth Graves Wakefield continued the tradition.  Ruth did all the cooking and her dessertsattracted people from all over New England.

Ruth Wakefield is credited for inventing chocolate chip cookies at her Toll House Inn near Whitman, Massachusetts in the early 1930s. One evening she got the idea to make a chocolate butter cookie for her guests. She broke up one of the bars of semi-sweet chocolate that Andrew Nestle gave her. She thought that it would mix together with the dough & make all chocolate cookies. Needless to say, the semi-sweet chocolate stayed in chip form.

She served them and they were so good they were served to her guests on a daily basis. She published the recipes in several newspapers and her Chocolate Crunch Cookie became very popular.

Ruth made a deal with Nestle that they could put the recipe on their chocolate bar if they supplied her with free chocolate for her cookies at the Inn. Nestle included a small chopper in the package to make it easy for people to make these cookies. Finally, in 1939, the Chocolate Morsels that we know today were introduced.

I recently wrote an article on my 20th anniversary of being cancer-free and having to make a heart wrenching decision when I was 19 years old whether or not to have an abortion to save my own life.  Here is the link to the story if you are interested. A Story of a Survivor  My daughter Amber and the four children I've had after her are miracles!
