    Invention

    The chocolate chip cookie was invented by American chefs Ruth Graves Wakefield and Sue
    Brides in 1938. She invented the recipe during the period when she owned the Toll House ​Inn
    (place to stay in while on a trip, like a bed &
    breakfast)​, in Whitman, Massachusetts. In this
    era, the Toll House Inn was a popular restaurant
    that featured home cooking. It is often incorrectly
    reported that she accidentally developed the
    cookie, and that she expected the chocolate
    chunks would melt, making chocolate cookies. In
    fact, she stated that she deliberately invented the
    cookie. She said, "We had been serving a ​thin
    (slim)​ ​butterscotch (type of caramel made of
    brown sugar and butter) ​nut cookie with ice
    cream. Everybody ​seemed (appeared)​ to love it, but I was trying to give them something
    different. So I came up with the Toll House cookie."She added ​chopped up (cut, sliced up) bits
    (pieces)​ from a Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar into a cookie.The
    original recipe in Toll House Tried and True Recipes is called "Toll
    House Chocolate Crunch Cookies". Wakefield gave Nestle the recipe
    for her cookies and was paid with a ​lifetime supply (stock, reserve,
    store for the rest of her life) ​of chocolate from the company.

    Later history

    Wakefield's cookbook, Toll House Tried and True Recipes, was first
    published in 1936 by M. Barrows & Company, New York. The 1938
    edition of the cookbook was the first to include the recipe "Toll House
    Chocolate Crunch Cookie" which ​rapidly (quickly, fast) ​became a
    favorite cookie in American homes.
    During WWII, soldiers from Massachusetts who were ​stationed (serving)​ ​overseas (abroad,
    away, in foreign land)​ shared the cookies they received in care packages from back home with
    soldiers from other parts of the United States. Soon, hundreds of soldiers were writing home
    asking their families to send them some Toll House cookies,
    and Wakefield was soon ​inundated (overwhelmed, swamped,
    flooded) ​with letters from around the world requesting her
    recipe. ​Thus (consequently, so, in consequence) ​began the
    nationwide craze for the chocolate chip cookie.The demand for
    the cookies helped spread their popularity beyond the east
    coast. The recipe for chocolate chip cookies was brought to
    the UK in 1956, with Maryland Cookies one of the UK's best
    selling chocolate chip cookies.
