Chocolate Chip Cookies
In 1930, Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, was making chocolate cookies when she ran out of baker’s chocolate and used broken pieces of Nestlé’s semi-sweet chocolate instead. She called her accidental creations “Toll House Crunch Cookies.” In exchange for printing the Toll House Cookie recipe on its packages, Nestlé gave Wakefield a lifetime supply of chocolate.
