A '''chocolate chip cookie''' is a [[Cookie#Classification|drop cookie]] that features [[chocolate chip]]s or chocolate morsels as its distinguishing ingredient. Chocolate chip cookies are claimed to have originated in the United States
Generally, the recipe starts with a dough composed of flour, butter, both [[Brown sugar|brown]] and [[white sugar]], semi-sweet chocolate chips, [[egg (food)|eggs]], and [[vanilla]]. Variations on the recipe may add other [[types of chocolate]], as well as additional ingredients such as [[nut (fruit)|nuts]] or [[oatmeal]]. There are also [[vegan]] versions with the necessary ingredient substitutions, such as vegan chocolate chips, vegan margarine, and egg substitutes. A ''chocolate chocolate chip cookie'' uses a dough flavored with chocolate or [[cocoa powder]], before chocolate chips are mixed in. These variations of the recipe are also referred to as ‘''double''’ or ‘''triple''’ chocolate chip cookies, depending on the combination of dough and chocolate types.▼

▲A '''chocolate chip cookie''' is a [[Cookie#Classification|drop cookie]] that features [[chocolate chip]]s or chocolate morsels as its distinguishing ingredient. Chocolate chip cookies originated in the United States around 1938, when [[Ruth Graves Wakefield]] chopped up a [[Nestlé]] [[Semi-sweet chocolate|semi-sweet]] [[chocolate bar]] and added the chopped chocolate to a cookie recipe.

In this era, the Toll House Inn was a popular restaurant that featured home cooking. A myth holds that she accidentally developed the cookie, and that she expected the chocolate chunks would melt, making chocolate cookies. That is not the case; Wakefield stated that she deliberately invented the cookie. She said, "We had been serving a thin butterscotch nut cookie with ice cream. Everybody seemed to love it, but I was trying to give them something different. So I came up with Toll House cookie."<ref name=cookiebook>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XXb0AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA23|title=The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book: Scrumptious Recipes & Fabled History from Toll House to Cookie Cake Pie|author=Carolyn Wyman|publisher=Countryman Press|year=2013|page=23|isbn=9781581571622|access-date=March 21, 2014}}</ref> She added chopped up bits from a [[Nestlé]] semi-sweet chocolate bar into a cookie.<ref>{{cite news|title=Chocolate Chip Cookie Day and the accidental origin of this American staple|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/04/living/chocolate-chip-cookie-history-trnd/index.html|publisher=CNN|date=20 October 2017}}</ref> The original recipe in ''Toll House Tried and True Recipes''<ref>{{cite book | last=Wakefield | first= Ruth Graves | title=Ruth Wakefield's Toll House Tried and True Recipes | publisher=M.

Chocolate chip cookies are commonly made with [[white sugar]]; [[brown sugar]]; [[flour]]; [[salt]]; [[Egg (food)|eggs]]; a [[leavening agent]] such as [[baking soda]]; a fat, typically butter or [[shortening]]; [[vanilla extract]]; and [[chocolate]] pieces. Some recipes also include milk or [[nut (fruit)|nuts]] (such as chopped [[walnuts]]) in the dough.
Depending on the ratio of ingredients and mixing and cooking times, some recipes produce a soft, chewy cookie while others will produce a crunchy, crispy cookie.<ref>Levitt, Jonathan. "They're Not As Easy To Make As To Eat", ''[[The Boston Globe]]'', 7 June 2006, C2. Available through [[ProQuest]] eLibrary.</ref> Regardless of ingredients, the procedure for making the cookie is fairly consistent in all recipes: First, the sugars and fat are [[creaming (food)|creamed]], usually with a wooden spoon or [[electric mixer]]. Next, the eggs and vanilla extract are added followed by the flour and leavening agent. Depending on the additional flavoring, its addition to the mix will be determined by the type used: [[peanut butter]] will be added with the wet ingredients while cocoa powder would be added with the dry ingredients. The titular ingredient, chocolate chips, as well as nuts are typically mixed in towards the end of the process to minimize breakage, just before the cookies are scooped and positioned on a [[cookie sheet]]. Most [[cookie dough]] is baked, although some eat the dough as is, or use it as an addition to vanilla [[ice cream]] to make [[chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream]].
The texture of a chocolate chip cookie is largely dependent on its fat composition and the type of fat used. A study done by Kansas State University showed that carbohydrate-based fat substitutes tend to bind more water, leaving less water available to aid in the spread of the cookie while baking and resulting in softer, cakelike cookies with less spread.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Armbrister |first1=W.L. |last2=Setser |first2=C.S. |year=1994 |title=Sensory and Physical Properties of Chocolate Chip Cookies Made with Vegetable Shortening or Fat Replacers at 50 and 75% Levels |url=https://www.cerealsgrains.org/publications/cc/backissues/1994/documents/71_344.pdf |journal=Cereal Chemistry |volume=71 |issue=4 |pages=344–351 |access-date=2023-10-02 |archive-date=2023-12-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231203052828/https://www.cerealsgrains.org/publications/cc/backissues/1994/documents/71_344.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
===Common variants===▼
* The ''M&M party cookie'' is baked with [[M&M's]] instead of chocolate chips.<ref>
* The ''chocolate chocolate chip'' or ''double chocolate'' cookie uses a dough that is chocolate
* The ''macadamia chip cookie'' has [[macadamia nuts]] and white chocolate chips.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies |url=https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/11026/macadamia-nut-chocolate-chip-cookies/ |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=Allrecipes |language=en |archive-date=2015-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150812221905/http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Macadamia-Nut-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/Detail.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>
* The ''chocolate chip peanut butter cookie'' replaces the vanilla
* Chocolate chip cookie dough baked in a baking dish instead of a cookie sheet results in a ''chocolate chip bar cookie'', also known as ''congo bars'' or ''blondies''.<ref>
* Other variations include different sizes and shapes of chocolate chips, as well as dark or milk chocolate chips. These changes lead to differences in both flavor and texture.
