We all love chocolate chip cookies, but if you have always found yourself looking at the back of the bag of chocolate chips for the recipe, you may have realized that it has changed over the years. As such, the cookies your grandma made probably aren’t the ones you’re making now. Like many of our favorite things, the original recipe was formulated in New England. This one was concocted at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, way back in the 1930s. And while it is hard to go wrong with any of the recipes printed on the bags, we believe the original by Ruth Wakefield is still the best. Try it and let us know if you agree! Be sure to read our baking tips before you begin for best results.
