Original Toll House Cookies

History was made in 1930 when Ruth Wakefield Innkeeper of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, cut uo a semi-sweet chocolate bar and added the pieces to cookie dough. She was disappointed, however that the pieces kept ther shape when baked-until her first bite, that is.
Mrs. Wakefield contacted Nestle Foods Corporation, Which published her cookie recipe on the wrapper of their semi-sweet chocolate bars. The recipe's popularity led Nestle's to market chocolate chips in 1939.
Under terms of its agreement with the Toll House Inn, Nestle could not alter the recipe for Original Toll House® Cookies for 40 years. When the agreement expired in 1979, Nestle simplifed the recipe. The original Original Toll House® Cookie Recipe is no longer pubished by Nestle Foods but is reprinted her for the sake of tradition
