Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are one of the most famous cookies out there. That perfect blend of soft doughy goodness with rich melted chocolate sends the taste buds craving more.

Because I was making the gooey goodness, I wanted to see where the cookie actually originated from.

The creator was Ruth Wakefield. According to Nestle Toll House Story:

“One day, while preparing a batch of Butter Drop Do cookies, a favorite recipe dating back to Colonial days, Ruth cut a bar of our NESTLÉ® Semi-Sweet Chocolate into tiny bits and added them to her dough, expecting them to melt. Instead, the chocolate held its shape and softened to a delicately creamy texture.”

I love when recipes come together by accident and develop into an American favorite!

Since my children have a gluten and dairy restriction I decided to alter this recipe to fit their dietary needs. They made this recipe completely on their own. The only guidance I gave them was with reading the package. Even though it took them 30 minutes to prepare, they had the best time measuring and mixing.

These cookies turned out so well. I am so proud of them and look forward to helping them develop a life of cooking and baking gluten free and vegan.
