According to the essay, Ruth Wakefield, the owner and baker at the Toll House Inn, wanted to bake cocoa-flavored sugar cookies but was out of cocoa powder so she substituted crumpled up Nestle chocolate bars. She expected the chocolate to melt and flow throughout the dough but only the first part happened and the chocolate remained in little molten spots without diffusing. She, nevertheless, set them out and they proved popular. The rest is history. ML4E (talk) 18:32, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
