The Mommies Reviews

I’m excited today is May 15 National Chocolate Chip Day #ChocolateChipDay. Charlie and I will be making Chocolate Chip Cookies in our Homeschool Home Economics Class this morning. For once were going to make the Cookies from scratch which is going to be the first time for both Charlie and I to make Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. I can’t wait to spend this time with Charlie making new memoires and I wouldn’t be surprised that David doesn’t help us. Would you like to join us for Cooking Baking and Family Time?

I don’t know about you but I am was so excited to find out World Cookie Day is observed every year on August 4 and we are celebrating World Cookie Day this year by… eating cookies! Biting into a Chocolate Chip Cookie can transport us back to the days of our childhoods when the days were long and the Milk was cold.

Most of us have tried Chocolate Chip Cookies warm and gooey right out of the oven or fresh and chewy from the grocery store. But no matter what form your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie takes, there’s no denying that this triple-C confection holds a very special place in our hearts.

form your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie takes, there’s no denying that this triple-C confection holds a very special place in our hearts. Did you know Charlie and I like to eat the Cookie Dough raw. What about you?

The first Chocolate Chip Cookie was actually made by accident in Whitman, Massachusetts in an Inn called the Toll House. In 1938, Ruth Graves Wakefield one day planned on making regular Chocolate Cookies but got the great idea of throwing in chunks of a Chocolate Bar into the recipe. Much to her surprise, the Chocolate did not mix well with the Cookie and instead, it filled up with tasty chunks of Chocolate.

These fortunate turn of events led to the emergence of the Chocolate Chip Cookie and the birth of the Toll House company. As time went on, different versions of the Cookie were made using White Chocolate or dark Chocolate and the people wanted a variety of new recipes to enjoy!

Ruth Graves Chocolate Chip Cookie started to get more and more famous. Finally, Nestle reached out to her and agreed to add her recipe to their wrapper in exchange for a lifetime of free Cookies — and she took it!

Chocolate Chip Cookies have come a long way since the Toll House Inn days because today it is seen as a staple part of the American home. It is estimated that a person eats around 35,000 Cookies in a lifetime which is crazy if you think about it. It is now available to be eaten in places like Europe and Australia, and it will only get bigger from here on out. You never know, it might just get so famous that aliens might just come to Earth just to get Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookies themselves are a tradition. We all have fond memories associated with Chocolate Chip Cookies and grandma baking a batch with her secret ingredient, then spending Winter nights eating Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies, sneaking a couple of Cookies with your siblings without mum knowing, the comforting taste, and more. In many of our special occasions and family gatherings, Chocolate Chip cookies have been present.

Indulge in Chocolate Chip Cookies, or try your hand at baking a batch with your loved ones. The results don’t have to be perfect. Many brands and franchises offer Cookie deals as well, so be sure to check them out.
