How chocolate chip cookies were made

Ah yes, the iconic chocolate chip cookie, some would call it perfect, ironically, it was made from an accident.

Ruth Wakefield, and her husband, owned "The Toll House Inn," in Massachusetts. The purpose of the Inn was for travelers who needed rest and/or a meal. When Wakefield was baking cookies, she added bits of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar. Wakefield expected fully chocolate cookies, but instead it created the cookie many know and love. Later it was published in a Boston newspaper as the "Toll House Crunch Cookie." It began exploding as a hit cookie and pastry all over America. Nestle, the company who profited the most from this new recipe, started creating the bags with the exactly 160 morsels in them. Nestle even has the recipe on the back of their bags to this day!
