Unlike many inventions, the chocolate chip cookie was not created inadvertently. Ruth Wakefield an American chef, baker, and restauranter is known to have been one of the first to develop a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. In the early 1930’s, with her restaurant booming all Ruth wanted was a unique cookie to add to her menu. She was inspired by other cultures and wanted to create some variation. After rushing with her cookie recipe, she left the chocolate squares she mixed in the batter unmelted, and what occurred was a delight. She perfected her recipe and added it to her cookbook, it was reprinted in newspapers and featured on the radio, and eventually, the chocolate chip cookie would be known everywhere. The chocolate chip cookie became loved by so many, it became a national holiday that takes place on Sunday, August 4. From a quick snack to a delicious dessert, chocolate chip cookies are perfect for many occasions. In recognition of National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, here are the best deals to celebrate.
