1. Invention of the Chocolate Chip
Cookie: The chocolate chip cookie
was invented by Ruth Wakefield in
the 1930s. Ruth was the owner of
the Toll House Inn in
Massachusetts, USA. Legend has it
that she was trying to make
chocolate cookies when she ran
out of baking chocolate. She
decided to break up a bar of
semi-sweet chocolate into small
pieces and added them to the
cookie dough, expecting the
chocolate to melt and distribute
evenly. However, the chocolate
stayed in its solid form, resulting in
the creation of the first chocolate
chip cookie.
