This is Ruth Wakefield`s original recipe from the 1930s that revolutionized the U.S. by baking the ​​first cookie containing  chocolate chips . And since then it has been a winner, and countless variations of this recipe has spread to every corner of the world. There is not a Chinese or Norwegian who don`t  know what a cookie are.

I just love cookies and have tested a lot  idea`s and recipes, and never tire.

But today I make :

My next cookie dough I also used my ice cream scoop, and devided the scooped cookie dough into 2 cookies 1.5 oz ( 50 gr) and dropped onto a baking tray lined with baking paper:

Transfer the cookies on to a wire rack to cool and enjoy !

Toll House Cookie History !
Sourse : Ezine @rticles

This is one of the histories that verses about how the chocolate chip cookies was born !

The chocolate chip cookie was invented by a lady named Ruth Wakefield in 1933 and like many great recipes today it was discovered completely by accident. Ruth was the owner of the Toll house Inn which was located in Whitman, Massachusetts which was a very popular place to take in some good home cooked meals.

They say Ruth regularly made chocolate cookies using bakers chocolate, but one day she ran out and only had access to a nestle semi sweet chocolate so she broke the bar into pieces and mixed it into the batter thinking it would melt and mix with it. And of course the chocolate pieces did not mixed like the bakers chocolate and the nestle toll house chocolate chip cookie was born.

Ruth Wakefield then sold the recipe to Nestle in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate chips. Nestle has since printed the recipe on the back of every bag of chocolate chips they have sold in North America with one small variation which is the option of using margarine over butter.

During world war two nestle toll house cookies were being sent to GI’s from Massachusetts who would then share them with other American soldiers from different parts of the states. This lead to several soldiers writing home asking for Nestle toll house cookies which lead to many people contacting Ruth wanting her recipe which lead to a nation wide craze for these delicious cookies.

They are still popular and are baked all over the world…
…and I found this recipe on the back of my pakcage Nestle` Toll House Semi-Sweet Morsels 🙂
