The first chocolate chip cookie recipe was created in the 1930's by Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Since Nana's cookies were based on this recipe, she always called them "Toll House Cookies." My brothers, cousins, and I (as well as many of the adults) came running when we smelled these baking. So, pour yourself a big glass of iced-cold milk, grab a couple of these cookies, sit back, relax, and return to a simpler time!
