Inventing a Cookie

SMILE if you like COOKIES! How about a warm, fresh-from-the-oven sugar cookie? Maybe a nice, chewy oatmeal raisin cookie? Or do you prefer the sweet taste of a homemade chocolate chip cookie? If so, you are not alone. More than half of the cookies baked at home are chocolate chip. It is the most popular cookie in the United States.

Did you know that before the 1930s, this kind of cookie didnt exist? Thats right. There were no chocolate chip cookies. There were not even any chocolate chips. They had not been invented yet. So who thought up this yummy cookie?

.

Ruth and her daughter, Mary Jane, bake a batch of cookies.

.

We have Ruth Graves Wakefield to thank. She and her husband Kenneth owned a restaurant in Whitman, Massachusetts. It was called the Toll House Inn.

One day, Wakefield was busy in the kitchen. She was mixing up the dough for a batch of her famous Butter Drop Do cookies. She just needed to add some baking chocolate. Where was the baking chocolate? Oh no! It was all gone. There wasnt time to get more before the Inn opened for lunch. Ruth had a problem! But sometimes a problem can lead to a great discovery.

A New Cookie!

Wakefield saw some Nestl semi-sweet candy bars on the shelf. They would have to do. She used an ice pick to chop the candy into small pieces. Then she stirred the pieces into the dough. She scooped little piles of dough onto the cookie sheets. Into the oven they went. Ten minutes later, she took the cookie sheets out of the oven.

.

The original chocolate that Ruth Wakefield used for her cookies was a solid candy bar. She broke it into pieces and added it to the dough. (This photo is made available as a courtesy by Nestle USA.)

.

Ruth Wakefield had thought the chocolate would melt. Instead, the chunks kept their shape. The cookies were ruined. Nobody wanted to eat cookies with hard chunks of chocolate in them. Wakefield was about to toss everything into the trash. Then somebody tasted one of the cookies.

Delicious!

The chocolate wasnt hard. It was soft and gooey and wonderful. More tasting led to more yummm sounds. The cookies were a big hit that day. Diners loved them and told their friends. Soon demand for the unique cookies grew. Everybody wanted to try some. Ruth Wakefield called them Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookies.
