nestle toll house chocolate chip cookies

By MauiDreaming

this is the original recipe found on the back of every package of nestle chocolate chips...mrs. wakefield first made the cookies in the thirties, in 1939 nestle starting making chocolate morsels, and in 1940 bought the rights to the toll house name.
thanks mrs. wakefield!!!
