Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are one of the most popular cookies in the world! They are drop cookies that have chocolate chips in them and that separates them and makes them popular. They come from the United States to be more exact from Ruth Wakefield. She accidentally discovered the recipe when she run out of regular baker's chocolate. She decided to substitute it with broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate. She thought that the broken chocolate would melt and that the end result would be the same. Obviously, the chocolate didn't melt and chocolate chip cookies were born. Well this is one version. The second version states that Mrs. Wakefield knew that the chocolate would not melt when once some Nestle bars of chocolate fell from the shelf into the cookie batter and were crumbled by the mixer.
Why two stories? Well the real reason for this is that one story comes from
Nestle and other from
Mrs. Wakefield and there was an argument between them about the chocolate chip cookie recipe. Did Mrs. Wakefield sell the recipe to Nestle or did she only let them print her recipe on the back of their cookie box? At the end the Nestle lawyers won and Nestle started making chocolate chip cookies.
Today they are by far the most popular cookies in the US. Half the cookies baked in American homes are chocolate chip. And of course there are many variations to the cookies. Most popular and known chocolate chip cookie brands are
Blue Chip Cookies, Chips Ahoy!, Chips Deluxe, Famous Amos, Mrs. Fields, Otis Spunkmeyer, Pepperidge Farm, The Decadent and Toll House.
Most chocolate chip cookies are made out of the following ingredients: white sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, eggs, baking powder, butter, vanilla extract, and semi-sweet chocolate pieces. Sure there are some other things that you can include in the recipe.
Some recipes produce
softer, chewy style cookies and others produce a more
crunchy chocolate chip cookies. And they all go great with a glass of milk or if you are a die hard chocolate lower even with a cup of hot chocolate :)! Just use this
hot chocolate recipe and try it!
