The advent and swift rise of the chocolate chip cookie offers some
of the best stories in American myth-making and king-making. It
might feel like this favorite treat is part of our national
heritage, perhaps dating back to the founding fathers, but not
until 1930 was the first batch impulsively baked in the kitchen of
a Massachusetts inn. How quickly it became our nation's favorite is
what makes the chocolate chip cookie more relentlessly American
than even apple pie. Easily commodified and mass-produced, it
birthed new business moguls overnight, ultimately accounting for
more than half of all homemade cookies, with sales of 6 billion
packaged cookies annually in the U.S.-it's the stuff of legend.
Revisit the Toll House Inn kitchen of Ruth Wakefield, who one
fateful day took an ice pick to a block of chocolate and sprinkled
it into her cookie dough, spawning a national craving that
continues unabated to this day. Get to know the first chocolate
chip cookie-preneurs and their unlikely success stories. Did you
know that Wally "Famous" Amos was a successful music talent agent
who signed Dionne Warwick and Simon and Garfunkel to recording
contracts before he decided a brighter future lay in perfecting his
dear aunt's irresistible cookie recipe? Or that Mrs. Fields was a
determined young trophy wife whose husband said her idea of trying
to sell her chunky, chewy cookies would never work? And the recipes
are packed into this book like brown sugar in a measuring cup, from
close approximations of the original Toll House and Mrs. Fields
recipes to creative variations like Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
and Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies. Vegan, gluten-free, and
low-fat/low-cal recipes are here, too. So whether you prefer yours
crunchy or soft, with or without nuts, you'll be delighted by the
wealth of fun facts and delicious recipes in The Great American
Chocolate Chip Cookie Book-and you're sure to be scrambling for the
pantry or nearest bakery to feed your craving.
