There's very little that comes to mind when you say, "American cuisine". Almost everything has its roots in Italy, Germany or some other foreign country. Not that I mind; in this melting pot, we get the best of the world!Chocolate chip cookies are American cuisine, in every sense of the phrase. They originated here, have become a household staple and their popularity has spread across the globe.
Ruth Graves Wakefield, who owned the Tollhouse Inn in Massachusetts, accidentally created this recipe in 1933 while making Butter Drop cookies without all the ingredients. She replaced an ingredient with a bar of Nestle chocolate and conceived Chocolate Chip Cookies!
While there are so many variations to chocolate chip cookies, nothing quite hits the spot like the Nestle recipe.
