Artifact Overview

In the late 1930s, Ruth Wakefield "invented" the chocolate chip cookie. She chopped up a Nestle's semisweet chocolate bar and added the pieces to her sweet cookie batter. The homemaker in this 1940s Nestle's ad celebrates her own success as a hostess when serving easy-to-make Toll House Cookies. Chocolate chips would, indeed, soon become America's favorite cookie.
