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.
Ruth Wakefield first invented the chocolate chip cookie in the year of 1938.
Ruth Wakefield was inspired by her love for baking and experimentation in the kitchen. She is best known for creating the chocolate chip cookie by adding chocolate chunks to a cookie recipe, which eventually led to the creation of the Toll House chocolate chip cookie.
she invented the chocolate chip cookie and got her recipe cook book was published.
Ruth Wakefield (June 1903-January 1977) was the inventor of the first chocolate chip cookie, known as the Toll House cookie, in 1938. She did not win any awards, however her recipe was published and the company Nestle gave her free chocolate for the rest of her life.
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)
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.
Wally Amos did not invent chocolate chip cookies; the creation of the chocolate chip cookie is credited to Ruth Wakefield, who introduced it in the late 1930s at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Amos, however, popularized the chocolate chip cookie through his brand, Famous Amos, which he founded in 1975. His cookies gained widespread fame, but he was not the original inventor.
Her name was Ruth Wakefield.
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.
Ruth Wakefield was an American chef and inventor best known for creating the chocolate chip cookie in the 1930s. She developed the recipe while running the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts, which led to the popularization of the cookie. Her recipe was later published in a cookbook and contributed to the widespread fame of chocolate chip cookies. Additionally, she sold the rights to Nestlé, which led to the production of Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips, solidifying her legacy in American baking.
