The Original Toll House® Cookie (a.k.a. the Chocolate Chip Cookie) is one of the most popular of homemade cookies and is an easy and quick cookie to make. Credit for the development of this legendary cookie goes to Ruth Wakefield, proprietress of the Toll House Inn in the 1930s.
There has been a trend of late, to sell single cookies for a very large price per cookie. To justify the high price, the cookies are over-sized and as a result, cookies have a bad rap as a poor nutritional snack.
The traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe combines a dough composed of butter and both brown and white sugar with semi-sweet chocolate chips.
This Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe makes about 48 medium sized cookies at about the same price as a half dozen purchased cookies. A great return on investment and a reasonably sized snack.
