Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn near Whitman, Mass., added chocolate chips to her butter cookies in 1930 and was so pleased with the result that she sent the recipe to the Nestle Co.
The company printed her recipe on the wrapper of their large semisweet chocolate bar, calling it the Toll House cookie. Everybody started making chocolate chip cookies like crazy, and Ruth Wakefield won a lifetime supply of Nestlé’s chocolate.
In 1997 the GENERAL LAWS OF MASSACHUSETTS made the chocolate chip cookie the official cookie of the commonwealth.

You don’t need to live in Massachusetts to enjoy these fab treats, but you do need to know where the best ones are to be found.
Check out Bart’s Cookies at www.bartscookies.com for cookies that are at least near the top of the best list. Read what one of Bart’s clients wrote:
"Bart, you almost broke up my marriage with your cookies! As I was sitting on the floor stuffing myself, my wife ran by, grabbed the bag you just mailed us and hid them. Thanks a lot, Bart. Now I only get one every now and then and only if I'm good. Send more! Here's a secret mailing address. May I make a suggestion: 'Stop screwing around with that Internet stuff! Start selling your cookies!' I've worked with a million-dollar cookie manufacturer before and I have to say, your cookies are better!" — Bill M., Reno, NV
