Chocolate Chip Cookies

While making chocolate cookies, Wakefield ran out of regular baker’s chocolate, and had to improvise with the help of semi-sweet chocolate that she assumed would melt and mix well with the batter. Since that was not the case, the first chocolate chip cookie was born. Eventually, she was able to sell this recipe to Nestle in return for a lifetime provision of chocolate chips.

It's believed more than seven billion chocolate chip cookies are consumed every year, and as many as half of all American households bake them at home. The basic ingredients are white sugar as well as brown sugar, flour, eggs, and semi-sweet chocolate. Nuts may also be added to the batter. One can mix and match the ingredients to personal tastes, though the Toll House Cookie sets the standard.

To make the chocolate chip cookie, first cream the sugar and butter at high speed by using a whisk or a standing mixer, then add brown sugar and eggs, and then add some flour and leavener (that is normally baking powder). Chocolate chips can be mixed in the end of the process prior to scooping the cookies, and the cookie dough is then baked (although many people prefer to eat it as is).

This kind of cookie is somewhat of an American pop culture icon.

Popular brands of chocolate chip cookies go by the names of Chips Deluxe (Keebler), Famous Amos, Mrs. Fields, Toll House (Nestle), Pepperidge Farm, The Decadent (President’s Choice) and Chips Ahoy! (Nabisco). Thus, when looking for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, you have many different choices!
