"How to make famous Toll House cookies. From the famous Toll House Inn at Whitman, Massachusetts, comes this recipe for cookies that are taking the country by storm. You never tasted such a heavenly combination of flavors... each bite with a delicious morsel of Nestle's Semi-Sweet Chocolate and a nugget of walnut meat in it. And it's so easy if you follow this tested recipe. Try it tomorrow." 1 cup (2 sticks) butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs, beaten whole 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. hot water 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 1 cup chopped nuts 2 Nestle's Semi-Sweet Economy Bars (7 oz. each) 1 tsp. vanilla Important: Cut the Nestle's semi-sweet (bars) in pieces the size of a pea. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter and add sugars and beaten egg. Dissolve baking soda in the hot water and mix alternately with the flour sifted with salt. Lastly add the chopped nuts and the pieces of semi-sweet chocolate. Flavor with the vanilla and drop half teaspoons on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 100 cookies. Source: Nestle's ad in the Milwaukee Journal newspaper, May 21, 1940. Note: Chocolate chips had not yet been marketed, so a semi-sweet chocolate bar was cut into small bits.
