TOLL HOUSE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
In the 1930s, Ruth Wakefield, the inventor of the chocolate chip cookie, ran the Toll House Inn, a popular restaurant in eastern Massachusetts, with her husband. Using an ice pick, Wakefield broke a semisweet chocolate bar into little bits, mixed them into brown-sugar dough, and the chocolate chip cookie was born. In 1939, she sold Nestlé the rights to reproduce her recipe on its packages (reportedly for only $1) and was hired to write recipes for the company, which supposedly supplied her with free chocolate for life. This recipe is very close to Mrs. Wakefield's original (hers called for a teaspoon of hot water and 1/2-teaspoon-sized cookies), and the one you'll still find on the back of every yellow bag of Nestlé chocolate chips.

BEA'S TOLL HOUSE COOKIES
This is indeed one of my family's favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes. Sometimes I add walnuts, pecans or macadania nuts. I have also added coconut and coconut extract instead of vanilla extract. One time I made the cookie and did not add chocolate chips at all...yes on purpose. They are good however you want to make them!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375. Melt butter & crisco together and set aside. Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray lightly with Pam.
- 2. Blend flour, both sugars and salt together with hands making sure there are no clumps. Now to that, add melted butter/crisco, vanilla and eggs. Mix well and fold in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonful onto prepared cookie sheets and bake at 375 for approximately 10 minutes (but check them at 8 minutes) or until light brown.
- 3. *Note: you can use 1/2 bag each of chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. **Note: you can also use 1 stick of butter crisco rather then the 1 stick butter & 1/2 cup crisco. I make these both ways.
- 4. TIP: one of my many friends, Jane McMillan, here on JAP has shared this tip with me, which she is quoting Alton Brown. BUTTER makes cookies crispier and SHORTENING will make them softer.
BETTER THAN TOLL HOUSE COOKIES!
These are my take on Toll House chocolate chip cookies; just better! They are my most requested cookie when company comes over! They are so good. The white chocolate has to be chopped fine so 1/4 is almost a flour, and the rest tiny chunks. The white chocolate 'flour' melts into the batter to impart a super nice flavour. You will get perfectly sized cookies using a tablespoon measure. I find a stainless steel one is perfect for evenly sized cookies. Don't pack or shape/handle the dough to keep them tender. Scoop out with your finger and dump on the cookie sheets. If you want thinner cookies for making ice cream cookie sandwiches, cut back the flour to 2 1/4 cups. If you have an old fashioned nut grinder, this is the best tool for chopping the white chocolate (so you get some 'flour' and the pecans so there is some nut dust to flavour the dough.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, making the cookies light and airy.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cookies will be soft and chewy, while overbaked cookies will be hard and dry.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying. This will help them to set and firm up.
