Chocolate Chip Cookie Trivia
Chocolate Chip Cookies are one the most popular cookies ever. I love them when they are fresh out of the oven as do my kids and my husband.
Chocolate Chip Cookies are drop style cookie. They traditionally consist of a dough with brown sugar and white sugar and butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in it.
There are variations of the cookies with oatmeal or nuts or M&M’s like my kids love. Another favorite is Macadamia nut in with white chocolate.
A fun dessert, a cookie-wich made by Mrs. Field is two cookies with a middle layer of frosting. Loads of sugar and loads of calories! Our local Mrs. Fields stand closed luckily for me!
A lady by the name of Ruth Graves Wakefield is the one whom made this great treat. We owe her thanks. The famous name she gave them was “Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies”.
Why “Toll House”? It was because she had bought an inn with her husband, Kenneth Wakefield in Massachusetts and was the cook there.
“Toll House Inn” was an inn, restaurant and a toll stop. Being built on a toll road, folks stopped there to pay their tolls like a modern day toll both for us.
Ruth Graves Wakefield had written a cookbook in 1940′s that had her recipes in it from the years of cooking at the inn. The cookbook was called “Ruth Wakefield’s Recipes:Tried and True”. It became a best selling cookbook.
The Wakefield’s sold the inn in the 60′s. Changes were made to it. By the 70′s it was sold again. The owners in the 70′s restored it. In the 80′s a fire burned it down.
Ruth Graves Wakefield lived til 1977. Her grave is in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts has the chocolate chip cookie as it’s official cookie thanks to a proposal in 1997.
Billions of variations are made and eaten of this famous cookie all over the world. We should pay thanks to Mrs. Wakefield for the cookie we all love.

I want to express my thanks to you for bailing me out of such a scenario. Because of searching through the online world and seeing recommendations that were not helpful, I assumed my entire life was gone. Living without the solutions to the difficulties you’ve fixed by way of the short article is a critical case, as well as those that might have in a negative way damaged my career if I had not discovered your blog. Your main competence and kindness in taking care of all areas was priceless. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a stuff like this. I can also at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks so much for your professional and results-oriented guide. I won’t be reluctant to propose your web site to anyone who desires direction about this topic.
