A chef named Ruth Wakefield ran a small restaurant called the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. One afternoon, she was making a batch of butter cookies in her kitchen. She wanted to add chocolate flavor, so she broke a chocolate bar into small pieces and mixed them into the dough. She expected the chocolate to melt completely, but it did not. Instead, the chocolate pieces stayed soft inside the baked cookies.

The new cookies became very popular with her customers. Soon, the recipe was shared widely. A big chocolate company noticed the success and began selling small chocolate pieces. They even printed the recipe on the package. This helped people make the cookies at home easily.

Today, chocolate chip cookies are one of the most common desserts in the world. They are simple to make and loved by many. This delicious treat started from a lucky accident in a small inn.
