There are few things more alluring than a chocolate chip cookie that’s been baked to perfection.
Some prefer their CCCs with a bit of crispiness on the edges, while others prefer theirs soft and buttery with a scattering of sea salt flakes on top.
Said to be created in 1938 by the owners of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts, the original chocolate chip cookie recipe has been tweaked and modified by thousands of professional bakeries and home bakers alike.
