Ruth Graves Wakefield

my stop.

Ruth Wakefield created the famous chocolate chip cookie in the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts in the late 1930s, generally dated around 1938.

That's where the Toll House comes from? Yes.

Oh,

For their chocolate chip cookies.

Now, the original chocolate chip cookie, the Toll House cookie, was invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 30s.

Ruth and her husband, Kenneth, owned the Toll House Inn near Whitman, Massachusetts.

Ruth cooked for her guests, and one day... had to substitute semi-sweet chocolates for baker's chocolate in the cookie recipe.
