The
story goes that the chocolate chip cookie was created by Ruth
Wakefield, who owned a restaurant called the Toll House near
Whitman, Massachusetts, during the 1930s. A recipe called for
baker's chocolate, and Ruth found herself without the needed
ingredient. She substituted a Nestlé™ semi-sweet chocolate bar
cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate, the
chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, and the small
pieces only softened. The rest is history. The chocolate chip
has come a long way since then, and in
125
best Chocolate Chip Recipes
(Robert Rose, Inc.; September 2003; $18.95/trade paperback) by
baker Julie Hasson, the reader will be amazed by all of the
delicious possibilities the chocolate chip delivers.
Chocolate chips are specially formulated to retain their taste
in any recipe and give off bursts of intense flavor during the
cooking process, and
125 best Chocolate Chip Recipes features superb,
imaginative, and fail-safe recipes for cookies, cakes, pies,
breads, puddings, bars and squares, muffins, hot and cold
beverages, and extraordinary sauces. Start the day out with
Chocolate Chip Oat Breakfast Biscuits, Chocolate Chip
Hotcakes, or Chocolate Orange French Toast for a
weekend brunch. Children will adore the Chocolate Mousse
Filled Cupcakes, Chocolate Dipped Pretzels, and
Chocolate Chip Cherry Bars. Adults will swoon over the
Chocolate Espresso Lava Cake that was featured on the
Today Show. If you find yourself with a bumper crop of
zucchini, be sure to make Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake.
125 best Chocolate Chip
Recipes also pays homage to the original cookie, and
cookie recipes include The Quintessential Chocolate Chip
Cookie, Double Chocolate Mint Chunkers, and
Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons. These recipes are so
good that the cookies will never make it to a cookie jar. All
resistance is futile! |
