Historical Context
It didn’t take long for the chocolate chip cookie recipe to spread out across the land, in fact, Ruth’s recipe showed up in the headlines of the town’s newspaper. As Ruth continued carrying out her recipes she kept them all in a book for safekeeping. In 1940, she published her first cookbook, “Toll House Tried and True Recipes”. The book held all of her successful and tested recipes.
