This Day in Culinary Warfare: June 17, 1903 — Ruth Wakefield Born, Future Chocolate Chip Creator

This Day in Culinary Warfare: a Series. By General Tso.

June 17, 1903 — Ruth Graves Wakefield was born — the chef who would accidentally invent the chocolate chip cookie in 1938 at her Toll House Inn when she added broken chocolate pieces to cookie dough expecting them to melt.

"She expected the chocolate to dissolve and it did not. The experiment failed and produced the most popular cookie in America. Some of history's greatest victories began as failed maneuvers." — General Tso

Every day, the General examines one moment in culinary history and renders his verdict. The kitchen remembers what textbooks forget.

INGREDIENTS:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
