The chocolate chip cookie gave comfort to Americans right after the Great Depression (Michaud). The rise of the chocolate chip cookie was propelled even further during World War II (Michaud). During the war, gender roles were especially perpetuated.
The classic Nestle chocolate chip cookie originates from a tale of chance at a lodge in Whitman, Massachusetts – the Toll House Inn – owned by Ruth Wakefield and her husband. The inn was purposed for road-weary travelers who needed a good night’s sleep and some food. Wakefield made all of the meals served at the inn.
Invention. The chocolate chip cookie was invented by American chefs Ruth Graves Wakefield and Sue Brides in 1938. They invented the recipe during the period when she owned the Toll House Inn, in Whitman, Massachusetts. In this era, the Toll House Inn was a popular restaurant that featured home cooking.

Thomson
Thomson proposed that the electrons were embedded in a uniform sphere that contained both the positive charge and most of the mass of the atom, much like raisins in plum pudding or chocolate chips in a cookie (Figure 2.2. 6). Figure 2.2. 6: Thomson’s Plum Pudding or Chocolate Chip Cookie Model of the Atom.

When did Chips Ahoy become a cookie brand?
In 1963, Chips Ahoy hit shelves, thanks to Nabisco. By the time the ’70s rolled around, entire stores were dedicated to cookie sales—including chocolate chips—like Famous Amos, Mrs. Fields, and David’s Cookies. What do they all have in common?
Did Elizabeth Wakefield know what she was doing when she made chocolate chips?
As author Carolyn Wyman posits in her Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book, Wakefield most likely knew exactly what she was doing, and while that doesn’t dilute how delicious the final product ended up being, it does make its mythic origin story seem just a smidge less magical. Even less magical?
Since then, Nestle has shared its famous chocolate chip recipe, all while selling its most important ingredient as “morsels” (other brands, like Hershey’s and Ghirardelli, call them “chips”). Although Nestlé’s morsels and Wakefield’s recipe pioneered the great chocolate chip cookie trail, they weren’t the only ones—there were plenty of imitators.
