Background and History of Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip cookies were the brain child of Ruth Graves Wakefield of Massachusetts, USA. Ruth was attempting to make Butter Drop Do cookies but was missing baker's chocolate. She replaced it with chopped pieces of a semi-sweet chocolate bar expecting them to melt producing a chocolate cookie. However the chocolate chips held their shape and produced a new cookie altogether. The first chocolate chip cookie was actually called the, "Toll House Crunch Cookie" and was invented in 1937.http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/CookieHistory.htm
