Day 3: – The Chocolate Chip Cookie Legend has it that the origin of the cookie comes from the Toll House Inn when in 1930 Ruth Graves Wakefield was making a batch of cookies and ran out of the chocolate she usually used for them. Thinking they would melt she substituted another kind of chocolate at the end of the mixing and then baked them off. Well the chocolate didn’t melt but stayed imbedded in the cookie and the Chocolate Chip Cookie was born!
We get compliments on our chocolate chippers all the time and I’ll tell you why they are so good – they are made with real good quality ingredients.
We use Cabot unsalted butter, King Arthur “special” flour and a very fine quality chocolate. I can’t say which chocolate because if Slugworth or Ficklegruber read this and found out, they would copy the idea for their own cookies.
As the Cookie Monster would say – “C is for cookie and that’s good enough for me”.
And speaking of the Cookie Monster – ever wonder what cookies he eats on Sesame Street? Well wonder no more- an in depth article recently published in the NYT spills the secret!
