Soft, chewy and incredibly aromatic:Chocolate Chip Cookieshave always been among the classics of sweet pastries and are particularly popular in English-speaking countries. No wonder, it ended up being deliciousInvented in the early 1930s by the American innkeeper Ruth Graves Wakefield, more by accident than intention.
The history of the American cookie – more likeable than the cookie itself
Because the story goes that one day when Wakefield was baking her shortbread cookies, she ran out of cocoa butter and instead just had small pieces of a barmixed into the dough. She expected the chocolate to melt and spread evenly throughout the dough as it baked, but instead the chocolate chips held their shape. The chocolate chip cookies or “American cookies” as they are called today were born.

The cocoa manufacturer Nestlé quickly got wind of Wakefield's discovery and bought the rights to the unique recipe, which was then printed on the manufacturer's chocolate packaging. In return, he provided Wakefield and her guest house with Nestlé chocolate for the rest of her life.
