American chocolate chip cookies

Time: 30 min.
Complexity: easily
Quantity: 25 cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are a traditional dessert in the United States. They were invented in the late 1930s by Ruth Wickfield, a restaurant owner in Massachusetts. The cookies immediately captured the hearts of customers and soon became popular throughout the state. During World War II, soldiers in Massachusetts, receiving packages of these cookies from home, shared them with their comrades in other states, who loved them so much that they asked their families to send them their own chocolate chip cookies. Ruth Wickfield was inundated with letters from across the country asking for the recipe. Thus, the cookies became a national treasure and remain popular to this day, both in the United States and abroad.
