Yummy, COOKIES! Do you know Who made the Chocolate Chip Cookies? Well, Ruth Wakefield Invented These sweet cookies. Now I think you are Wondering How These cookies were "Invented" well Wait and see.You see, Ruth owned a Inn. She prepared the recipes for the meals served to the guests at the Inn and gained local notoriety (NOT-ORIE-TY) for her deserts.One of her favorite recipes was for Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate and one day Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She substituted a semi-sweet chocolate bar cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate the chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, the small pieces only softened.As it so happened the chocolate bar had been a gift from Andrew Nestle of the Nestle Chocolate Company. As the Inn's chocolate chip cookie recipe became popular, sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar increased. Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield struck a deal. Nestle would print the Inn's Cookie recipe on its packaging and Ruth Wakefield would have a lifetime supply of Nestle chocolate.
