Why didn't people know in Shakespeare times what a chocolate chip cookie is?

Answer 1

Chocolate, which had been used in Mexico for thousands of years, did not arrive in Europe until 1585, when Shakespeare's twins were born, and then only in Spain. It did not reach Britain until much later, and was incredibly expensive. And it was only consumed in liquid form--think boiling raw cocoa powder in water. The making of solid chocolate (and therefore Chocolate Chips) was not perfected until the mid-1800s, over 200 years after Shakespeare died.

Answer 2

because it was not invented yet
