The 47 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World: The Recipes That Won the National Chocolate Chip Cookie Contest

by Honey Zisman and Larry Zisman

Chocolate chip cookies are a true American delicacy: at the Toll House restaurant near Boston, Ruth Wakefield invented the very first "toll house" cookies with chopped-up bits of a Nestle's chocolate bar. Originally inspired by a contest to find the best cookies in the nation, "The 47 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World" spans the kitchens of America from Muskegon, Michigan, to Costa Mesa, California--and includes delectable tidbits of cookie lore (did you know that Napoleon always carried chocolate into battle with him for quick energy?) The only thing better than this book is a box of chocolate chip cookies Chocolate Chip and Macadamia NutsBavarian Mint ChippersAlmond Chip DropsItalian Chocolate Chip CookiesChocolate Chip PizzaSweet and Wholewheat CookiesAnd More

Customer Reviews

A good book if you like chocolate (and of course you do!)

If you like chocolate chip cookies, then you'll like this book. You wouldn't think that there could be this many variations on a basic receipe, but there certainly are. I'd recommend this book.
