125 Best Chocolate Chip Recipes
GOURMAND AWARDS 2003
WINNERS COOKBOOKS/Best Chocolate Book
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.

These recipes are so good that the cookies will never make it to a cookie jar. All resistance is futile!
