Food history:
Chocolate chip cookies were invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, who ran the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added chopped chocolate to her cookie dough, expecting the chocolate to melt and create a chocolate cookie. Instead, the chocolate chips held their shape and the chocolate chip cookie was born.
Flavor profiles:
These cookies are sweet and buttery, with a rich chocolate flavor from the combination of semisweet and Trifulin chocolate chips.
Serving suggestions:
Serve the cookies as a dessert or a snack.
