The Toll House Story

The Nestle Toll House tradition began in the 1930's at the Toll House Inn near Boston. Here, proprietor Ruth Wakefield was known for her rich, indulgent desserts. While experimenting one day, she cut a bar of Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate into tiny bits and added them to her cookie dough. The Toll House cookie was born! In 1939, Nestle created the Toll House Morsel. Today Nestle Toll House helps you share the great homemade taste of The Original Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie, America's Favorite Cookie Recipe!
