History of the Chocolate chip cookie Madelyn McQueen - Twin Falls Idaho Have you ever wondered how the delicious, classic treat came to be? Well, any event you can think of after the date of 1938, the cookie was bound to be there. Several stories about how the country’s favorite baked good came to be, have been spread and believed by thousands. For example, Ruth Wakefield unexpectedly ran out of nuts for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version of how the cookie came to be. Wyman argues, that Ruth Wakefield, who had a degree in household arts and a reputation for perfectionism, would not have allowed her restaurant, which was famed for its desserts, to run out of such …show more content…
Sadly, the Toll House restaurant burned down spectacularly on New Year’s Eve in 1984 and the spot is now home to a Wendy’s. The authorities in Whitman required the fast-food restaurant to include a small museum for Wakefield and the Toll House on its premises. January 10 of 1977, Ruth Wakefield passed away at the age of 73 due to an unknown illness. The chocolate-chip cookie celebrated its eightieth birthday this year and stays as the classic delight, loved by all Americans.

“His decision to focus on the production of the Hershey milk chocolate bar is now hailed as one of the most important decisions in the history of American business” (Milton Hershey 1). Certain aspects of Milton Hershey’s life are impossible to not take notice of. A simple chocolate bar completely changed the world of business, Milton S. Hershey impacted the world in a huge way.

You all know the Chocolate Company: Hershey's; but where did it all begin? As with Walt Disney, it started with a dream. A dream that a certain person could rule the candy market. This certain person is Milton Snavely Hershey. Milton Hershey founded Hershey’s Chocolate Company in 1900. Did you know that his first product wasn't chocolate? No, he created and sold many other confections; his greatest being caramel. His highest achievement of all was creating the world's largest candy manufacturing company today. Milton S. Hershey learned most of his work from Joe Royer, the owner of an Ice Cream Parlor and Garden. Joe Royer taught Milton for four years until he quit. Milton didn't quit because he didn't like the apprenticeship. No, he quit to start his own confectionary business. Milton S. Hershey gave this world a company that changed the way we see chocolate today.
Milton Hershey had some bumps on his road to success. Hershey was a success but, he was failure at one point. In 1872 he started his first Lancaster confectionery shop. But, soon after he opened it closed. Then he visited his dad in Colorado and ment another confectioner there. That’s where Milton learned how to make caramels with fresh milk. When he came back he started another shop where he made his new signature caramels. A few months later that closed. Even after the bumps he still
For many families, part of celebrating Christmas is making and decorating sugar cookies together. Whether this is a tradition you enjoyed as a child, or it is simply something you want to do now, if you do not have cookie cutters, you might be thinking you will not be able to make Christmas sugar cookies this year.

Many of people have tasted chocolate chip cookies, but many don’t know how it’s sweet taste was discovered. In 1928 Ruth Wakefield made a delicious discovery. One day, she was baking a batch of her butter
n my opinion, the best part of an Oreo cookie is not the filling. Everyone notices the dark, chocolatey outside first, but they claim the real good stuff is the sugary, delicious, white inside. To me, I like them both together (with a tall glass of milk for dipping, of course!). Maybe it is because I can relate to those little Oreo cookies. Maybe it is because I am mixed, black and white, and get the best, and worst, of both sides. Maybe it is because I feel like people look at me as “white” because they claim that is how I act, or maybe it is because I feel my black side is ignored or seen as inferior to my white side. Maybe it is because I could never pick a favorite side.
Chocolate chip cookies are one of the most iconic cookies in the world, known for being served warm, with ice cream, and even with cake.

But with these few easy steps anyone can make the perfect chocolate chip cookie that everyone will love.
Somehow, the notion came to me that I was going to find motivation from seemingly insignificant things. For instance, I remembered this interesting trick I learned back in Colorado. Out there, I discovered that adding fresh milk to caramel made it tastier (“Milton S. Hershey”). Now, why I didn’t utilize this little tidbit earlier, I don’t know. It would have saved me much grief and anxiety, but I guess that’s the way the (chocolate chip) cookie crumbles. Poor humor aside, I used this knowledge to start the Lancaster Caramel Company in 1887 at age thirty (“Milton Hershey”). This was the windfall I so desperately needed. By 1900, the company had become so successful that I sold it for $1 million (“Milton Hershey”). Earlier, though, I found my true calling. In 1893, I attended the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. There, I noticed a German man demonstrating the production of milk chocolate (Woodruff). I was so fascinated by this that I bought his equipment right off him and took it back to Lancaster (“Milton S. Hershey”). A couple of years later, on April 17, 1895 in fact, the first Hershey’s Bar was sold (“Milton S. Hershey”). I became the first American with a formula for making milk chocolate (“Milton S. Hershey”). My life had completely turned around just because I made a few minor observations. Life can be an amazing thing. To make sure that this newfound success didn’t escape me, I observed two
When Ruth Graves Wakefield accidentally invented the chocolate chip cookie in the early 1937 she couldn't have known just how successful her accident would become. Working as a dietitian until 1930, she and her husband bought a tourist lodge in Whitman, Massachusetts called the Toll House Inn. One day, while making chocolate cookies Wakefield realized that she was out of baking chocolate. Instead she substituted with a bar of semisweet Nestle chocolate. However, the chopped up Nestle bar did not melt and mix into the batter as baking chocolate does. Instead the pieces of chocolate had only softened. Her new creation, which she called the Toll House Crunch Cookie became wildly popular. The Nestle Company later went on to print her cookie recipe
Throughout the history of the company, its owners, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, have interacted with their customers, gaining knowledge on what people like and dislike about their ice cream. Opening their store in Burlington, Vermont in 1978, they immediately began interfacing with the local populace by hosting a free summer movie festival, projecting movies on the wall of their renovated gas station. In 1985, they introduced New York Super Fudge Chunk®, a flavor suggested by a writer from New York City. Throughout the years, they have continued to introduce new flavors either suggested or inspired by either regular individuals or well-known celebrities.
In 1915 Milton Hershey made the nickel bars chocolate. They were the number 1 candy in the nation. Milton Hershey also had to make more chocolates and candies to get to be the number one candy in the nation. When people would visit his company people would say that they loved the breeze of chocolate. The workers would be working on the chocolate and when people went in they could smell the chocolate the workers were working on. After he became the best company or almost the best company Milton Hershey decided to make a new type of candy so his business wouldn't go out. Milton Hershey had made the reese's bar and to make his business go up he decided to make reese's pieces. The new hit movie ET wanted a good chocolate creator so they asked MARS candy to be started on it. The candy company said that they didn't want to be on the movie because if the movie wasn't a hit the company exposure would go down. After MARS denied the offer they went to Hershey. Milton Hershey took the deal and the movie was a hit. People loved the movie and the appearance of the new chocolate. People saw the chocolate was appeared the Hershey company became more popular. The Hershey's company became popular and the best chocolate company in the
I hope you had a great time in Latvia, and I want to thank you for letting me come into the center last week! I really had a great time (you have a great cast of characters at the center! I brought in my mom’s famous “cookie bars” which really went over well. I’d love to come in again next month- Is there a few dates that would work to sponsor bingo again?
After hours of researching the history of Red velvet cake, I seem to have found that no one really knows exactly when and where Red Velvet Cake originated, I found that Velvet cakes have been being made since the 1800s. The recipes called for cocoa and soften flour and make finer texture cakes and it was the smoother texture that gave the cakes the name Velvet cakes. One of the most notable mentions of Red Velvet cake was in 1943 in Irma S. Rombauer’s “The Joy of Cooking” which was one of the first nationalized mentions of the Red Velvet cake. During my mission to find about the history of Red Velvet Cake I found that a time during World War II, food was being rationed, the items that people needed for baking (for example,
