Best Answer

It was a mistake. She tried to make chocolate dough by adding chopped up semi-sweet chocolate bar to a recipe that called for Baker's chocolate. She did not have Baker's chocolate and instead she got a vanilla based cookie with melted chunks of chocolate throughout. She served them to her guests anyway and they were a huge hit.

Who invented the toll house cookies?

The original chocolate chip cookie, the Toll House Cookie, was invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s. Ruth and her husband Kenneth owned the Toll House Inn, near Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth cooked for her guests, and one day had to substitute semi-sweet chocolate for baker's chocolate in a cookie recipe. She chopped the chocolate in bits, but when she took the cookies from the oven, the semi-sweet chocolate had not melted into the dough as the baker's chocolate had. These cookies with chocolate 'chips' became an immediate hit with her guests. Kim (cimmik@aol.com)


Who invented the chocolate chips cookies?

Ruth Graves Wakefield invented the first chocolate chip cookie ever when in 1937 she was in the Tollhouse Inn making butter do-drop cookies, when she decided to chop up a Nestle® chocolate bar and put it in the dough. She expected the chocolate to melt in the dough while baking. (Keep in mind this was NOT homemade chocolate.) Eventually, the Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie became a success, and people couldn't get enough of them! Ruth then signed a contract with Nestle saying that they could put her recipe on the back of their chocolate bar, and they'd give her a lifetime supply of chocolate. The chocolate bar seemed to be too hard to cut, so Nestle came out with semi-sweet chocolate morsels, or chocolate chips. They put Ruth Wakefield's recipe on the back of the bag. The chocolate chip cookie was indeed an accident.

How was the chocolate chip cookie made?

The best answer to that question is Ruth Graves Wakefield of Whitmann, Massachusetts , the same city/ location of the Toll House Chocolate Company. Ruth's had an old favorite recipe for "Butter Drop Do" cookies dating back to colonial times. A recipe variation called for baker's chocolate and Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She used a bar of semisweet chocolate on hand, she chopped it into pieces and stirred the chunks of chocolate into the cookie dough, assuming that the chocolate would melt and spread throughout each cookie. Instead the chocolate bits held their shape and created a sensation. She called her new creation the Toll House Crunch Cookies. The Toll House Crunch Cookies became very popular with guests at her inn, and soon her recipe was published in a Boston newspaper, as well as other papers in the New England area. Word of the cookie spread and it became popular around 1939.
