National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

Chocolate chip cookies are a type of cookie that is made with flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. They are a popular sweet treat that is enjoyed by people of all ages, and can be found in bakeries, cafes, and homes around the world. To make chocolate chip cookies, the dough is typically mixed together and then spooned onto a baking sheet in small balls. The cookies are then baked in an oven until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. The chocolate chips melt and become gooey as the cookies bake, adding a delicious sweetness to each bite. Chocolate chip cookies were invented in the United States in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, who ran the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Wakefield added chunks of chocolate to her cookie dough, and the resulting cookies were an instant hit with her customers. Today, chocolate chip cookies are a classic and beloved treat that is enjoyed around the world, and there are many variations on the recipe, including gluten-free and vegan versions.
