Chocolate Chip Cookie Week is an unofficial event with no sponsors. It is revered by bakers, cookie enthusiasts, and various businesses in the food industry who seize the opportunity to honor this classic American sweet.
The chocolate chip cookie was invented in 1938 by Ruth Graves Wakefield, who, along with her husband, owned the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. The story goes that Wakefield, while making a batch of cookies, realized she was out of baker's chocolate and substituted it with broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, expecting it to melt and absorb into the dough. Instead, the chocolate held its shape, and the iconic chocolate chip cookie was born.
The recipe's popularity soared upon its publishing in a Boston newspaper. As its fame grew, Wakefield struck a deal with Nestle: her recipe became part of the packaging of their semi-sweet chocolate bars in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate. This agreement led to Nestle creating chocolate chips or "morsels" specifically for baking in 1939, further solidifying the cookie's place in American culinary history.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Week is a testament to the cookie's enduring popularity. It is typically marked by bakeries and cookie enthusiasts sharing their unique takes on the classic recipe and providing a sweet opportunity for people to indulge in nostalgia.
