It’s National Chocolate Chip Cookie day!

(CNN) — August 4 is a day to enjoy those tasty bits of chocolate in your favorite cookies.

We have Toll House Inn owner Ruth Wakefield to thank for the delicious treat!

In the 1930s, she was baking cookies for her guests when she decided to alter the recipe using small pieces of a nestle chocolate bar.

The “toll house” cookie recipe was a hit and was eventually bought by – you guessed it – Nestle.
