August 4th - National Chocolate Chip Cookie

Day!

Ruth Graves Wakefield is recognized on this day. Thanks to her resourcefulness, chocolate chips and cookie dough were deliciously brought together. In 1937, Ruth had run out of baker’s chocolate for her cookie recipe, which would blend right into the dough. She instead used a semi-sweet chocolate, thinking it would also melt into the dough. What she then took out of her oven was a metamorphosis for cookie baking.
