Origin stories

Chocolate chip cookies were invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth was looking to add something new to her cookies and decided to mix in chunks of a Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar, expecting them to melt and create an all-chocolate cookie. Instead, the chocolate retained its shape, and the chocolate chip cookie was born. This chance creation became a classic American treat enjoyed by many around the world.
