an article about chocolate chip cookies in the library. Read the article.

Have you ever tasted chocolate chip cookies? Can you believe that
chocolate chip cookies were invented by accident rather on purpose?

Back in 1930, Ruth Wakefield and her husband opened a restaurant in. The
U.S. She worked as a waiter and a cook there. The home-made meals and
desserts made by Ruth were popular. They attracted people from all over the
States.

One day, Ruth made some chocolate cookies in the kitchen. She had no
time to melt the chocolate before adding it to the mixture. She then broke
the chocolate into small pieces and threw them into the mixture when they
were baking in the hot oven.

When Ruth took the cookies out of the oven, however, she could still see
those chocolate pieces on top of the cookies. Thinking that the cookies were
not good enough to serve, Ruth let her customers eat them for free. To
Ruth’s surprise, her customers liked the cookies very much!

Ruth’s chocolate chip cookie became more and more popular. During the
Second World War, Us soldiers who were stationed oversea shared the
cookies they received in the car packages from home with each other. Soon,
hundreds of soldiers were writing home asking their families to send them
some chocolate chip cookies, and Wakefield was soon received thousand of
letters from around the world requesting her the recipe. Many people started
to make their home-made chocolate chip cookies.

We should thank Ruth Wakefield for this delicious mistake!
