Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

The old adage "you don't mess with success" is certainly true when it comes to Chocolate Chip Cookies. The original recipe was invented by Ruth Wakefield, who was the proprietor of the Toll House Inn in the mid 1930's, and was so popular after being printed in a local newspaper that Nestle semi sweet chocolate bars kept selling out. Mrs. Wakefield contacted Nestle and struck a deal to have her recipe printed on the wrapper, in return for a life time supply of the chocolate. Not long after Nestle began marketing the now famous "chips" to be used in the recipe. To this day I believe it's the best recipe and can't be improved upon
