A chocolate chip cookie recipe is a set of instructions for baking chocolate chip cookies. It typically includes ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Chocolate chip cookies are a popular dessert enjoyed by people of all ages.
Chocolate chip cookies were invented in the United States in the 1930s by Ruth Graves Wakefield, who owned the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Wakefield added chopped chocolate to a cookie recipe she had found in a newspaper, and the result was a hit with her guests. The recipe was later published in a cookbook, and chocolate chip cookies quickly became a popular dessert around the world.
