9 Chocolate Chip Cookie Day Deals You Won't Want to Miss
Most people don't need an excuse to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie, but if you do, the National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on August 4 is a perfect one. America's most popular cookie was created thanks to an accidental stroke of good fortune. In 1938, Ruth Graves Wakefield, the owner of Toll House Inn in Whitman, Mass., was trying to make chocolate cookies by adding chunks of a Nestle chocolate bar into the dough. However, that particular chocolate bar had a lower cocoa fat content than other "eating chocolates," preventing it from melting fully in the oven. Her guests liked the cookies so much that she continued to recreate them to an immensely warm reception, eventually selling the recipe to Nestle.
To say that Americans have fallen in love with chocolate chip cookies since its accidental inception is an understatement. The average American supposedly eats around 35,000 chocolate chip cookies throughout their lifetime (with 13.5% of American adults admitting to having eaten as many as 20 cookies in one sitting). Whether you like your cookies crunchy, soft, or chewy, here are the restaurant and dessert chains running deals on chocolate chip cookies to celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.
