Toll House Heritage Cookbook : A Collection of Favorite Desserts, 1980

Summary

Nestle published this dessert cookbook of "old fashioned favorites"--including the Toll House chocolate chip cookies first developed in the 1930s. Yet the recipes also reflect changes in food trends over the decades--offering tips on how to make "giant" 4-inch chocolate chips (the first Toll House cookies were small), a whole wheat adaptation, time-saving pan cookies, and a refrigerated dough version.
