The Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie is a chocolate chip cookie created by Ruth Wakefield in 1930. The recipe was first published in 1938 in the Toll House Tried and True Recipes cookbook. Wakefield was operating the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, when she ran out of baker’s chocolate for her chocolate cookies. She substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie was born. The recipe has since become one of the most popular cookie recipes in the United States.
Toll House chocolate chip cookies are known for their chewy texture, crispy edges, and rich chocolate flavor. They are a favorite of both children and adults, and are often served at parties and gatherings. The recipe is simple to follow, and can be made with ingredients that are easily found in most grocery stores.
