chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are a popular baked treat made from a dough that typically includes ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, with chocolate chips added for flavor. They originated in the United States in the late 1930s, when Ruth Wakefield created them at her Toll House Inn. The cookies are known for their chewy texture and sweet, chocolatey taste, making them a favorite dessert around the world. They can be enjoyed fresh from the oven or softened over time, and variations may include different types of chocolate, nuts, or additional flavorings.
