Introduction

• George Washington never tasted one. Neither did
  Benjamin Franklin, Abraham
• Lincoln, nor Mark Twain. Unfortunately, they
  died before the chocolate chip cookie was
  invented. Thanks to Ruth Wakefield, chocolate
  chips cookies were invented in 1930 and are
  available all over America today.

Letter A

• One day Wakefield was making plain cookies for
  her guests. Then she received a call from her
  childs school and the principal said her child
  is very sick. She needs to leave immediately.
  Wakefield ran out and told her husband to put
  the cookies in the oven. He went and accidentally
  spilled bits of chocolate all over. He thought it
  would melt ,but it didnt. Wakefield returned and
  saw the chocolate all over the cookies. She tried
  one and it was great. Thats how Wakefield
  invented the chocolate chip cookies.

Letter B

• Wakefield did not plan to invent a cookie that
  would become famous. She was busy with the chores
  of running the Toll House Inn, located on the
  toll road between Boston and New Bedford,
  Massachusetts. While mixing a batch of cookies,
  Wakefield discovered she was out of bakers
  chocolate. As a substitute she broke some
  semi-sweetened chocolate into small pieces and
  added them to the dough. She expected the
  chocolate bits to melt and the dough to absorb
  them, producing chocolate cookies. When she
  removed the pan from the oven, Wakefield was
  surprised. The chocolate had not melted into the
  dough, and her cookies were not chocolate
  cookies. Wakefield had accidentally invented the
  chocolate chip cookie.

Conclusion

• They were named Toll House cookies after
  Wakefields inn and are the most popular variety
  in America today. Estimates say seven billion
  chocolate chip cookies are consumed annually, and
  half the cookies baked in America homes are
  chocolate chip cookies. These popular treats have
  even provided full-time jobs some vendors sell
  nothing but chocolate chip cookies. They also
  made a political appearance in 1980. After
  Canadian diplomats assisted six American hostages
  to escape from Iran, the American people sent
  chocolate chip cookies to the Canadian embassy-
  our way of saying thanks.
