Chocolate Chip Cookies

Categorised under dropped cookies, chocolate chip cookies recipe is perhaps one of the more better known cookies for snack time no matter where you are in this world.. It is believed that chocolate chip cookies recipe was accidentally created by Ruth Graves Wakefield in 1930. She was the owner of Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Originally it was called Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookies. This lovable treat came to be as it is today when Ruth ran out of regular baking chocolate and substituted it with pieces of semi broken sweet chocolate thinking it would melt but instead it blended it perfectly in the cookies as it is and the rest they say is history in the making of perhaps the greatest tea time snack of all time.. Many ingredients can be added to enhance the flavour even more. Here we add some walnuts and desicated coconut to give it a more nutty flavour. Other than walnuts, almost any type of nuts would go well with this cookies for example macadamias, almonds, pecan or even crushed peanuts.
