*National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day arrives on August 4, bringing a delightful excuse to indulge in this beloved treat.
According to YouGov’s 2025 survey, chocolate chip cookies topped the charts as the most popular dish in Q2. The chocolate chip cookie’s origins trace back to Ruth Wakefield, who, in 1937, crafted the iconic treat at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. By chopping a semi-sweet chocolate bar into her Butter Drop Do cookies, she created a sensation.
Wakefield “popularized and developed a recipe that is still in use 100 years later is incredibly impressive,” said pastry chef Stella Parks on the Gastropod podcast in April 2022. However, Parks’ 2017 book BraveTart reveals earlier traces, with “Chocolate Jumbles” recipes from 1877 and supermarket ads in the 1930s.
