📜 History
The chocolate chip cookie was invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, co-owner of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added broken pieces of chocolate to cookie dough, expecting them to melt and spread evenly. Instead, the chocolate held its shape, giving birth to the very first chocolate chip cookie—a happy accident that became one of the most iconic desserts worldwide.
