Enjoy this tasty National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Pour yourself a glass of goat milk and indulge in that sweet chocolate chip goodness. On Friday, August 4, 2017, America celebrates all the chocolate chip cookies that sacrificed their lives to put a smile on the face of many American men, women, and children. It almost brings a tear to my eye to think about all the great things chocolate chip cookies has afforded us.
These cookies date back to 1930. Ruth Graves Wakefield invented the confection by mistake. She was baking cookies for her guest at her husband’s inn. She ran out of baker’s chocolate, so improvised with some a block of Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate that she chopped up and sprinkled across the dough. She expected the bits of chocolate to melt right into the cookies, but instead, the chips remained atop the cookie. Hence, the chocolate chip cookie.
And oh, you’ll need a sh*t-load of milk to wash away whatever is in the gallery…
