📜 A Little History
Chocolate chip cookies were first created in the 1930s in the United States and quickly became a household staple. What started as a happy baking accident turned into one of the most loved desserts worldwide. Over generations, families have added their own twists — but the heart of the cookie remains the same: simple ingredients and shared joy.
🧠 Formation – How These Cookies Come Together
