Chunk cookie

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic American dessert that can be traced back to the 1930s. The original recipe was created by Ruth Wakefield, who owned the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. The inn was known for its delicious home-cooked meals, and Wakefield’s chocolate chip cookies quickly became a customer favorite.

Wakefield’s original recipe was published in a 1938 issue of Boston Cooking-School Magazine. It called for semisweet chocolate chips, which Wakefield made by chopping up a bar of Nestle semi-sweet chocolate. The recipe quickly became popular, and the chocolate chip cookie as we know it today was born.

Over the years, there have been many variations on the chocolate chip cookie recipe. Some recipes call for different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate. Others add nuts or dried fruit to the dough. But no matter what the variation, chocolate chip cookies remain a beloved treat.
