Crunch! Crunch! Mmmmm! Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies! But not everyone knows where they came from. Meet Ruth Wakefield, the talented chef and entrepreneur who started a restaurant, wrote a cookbook, and invented this delicious dessert. But just how did she do it, you ask? That's where things get messy! So sit back and grab a cookie to read a story - or three - about how this round, crispy, chocolatey piece of perfection came to be. Which tale is true? Well, what do you think?
