The Story of the Famous Toll House Cookies

In New England, on the outskirts of Whitman, Massachusetts, stands a lovely old Cape Cod house. Back in the early 1700’s it was used as a toll house where passengers changed their horses, dined, and paid their toll charges.

THE TOLL HOUSE AT WHITMAN, MASS.

It was here in 1930 that Ruth Wakefield, a well-known dietician and lecturer, started her now famous inn, calling it “The Toll House,” where old-fashioned favorites and new recipes are carefully prepared and served in a modern atmosphere.

Among these delicious recipes which Mrs. Wakefield has created is the new and different kind of chocolate cookie. This recipe listed on the opposite page, is taken from Mrs. Wakefield’s own cook book. All other recipes contained in this booklet have been derived from other sources.

There is a taste surprise in these tender, golden brown Toll House cookies. A creamy bit of Nestlé’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate and the flavor of walnut make a particularly happy combination. Only with Nestlé’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate can you achieve this perfect blend of flavor.
