Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite all over the world. But the baker who invented them was trying to make a different kind of cookie. One day, Ruth was making cookies for her guests at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts, but she was out of baker’s chocolate to melt and add to the dough. Instead, she chopped up a block of semi-sweet chocolate and added the pieces. She thought the pieces would melt and make the entire cookie chocolate. However, the chocolate pieces stayed intact, melting into gooey little bits inside the cookie. The chocolate chip cookie was born. These cookies are often called Toll House cookies because of where they were first baked.
