What is America's Favorite Cookie?
While there are plenty of cookie flavors to choose from, surveys show that America's favorite is the chocolate chip cookie, with over 53% of American adults preferring it over the second most popular, peanut butter.
You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that, like many other great inventions, the chocolate chip cookie was made by accident. In the 1930's, an innkeeper in Whitman, Massachusetts's named Ruth Wakefield dumped some chocolate chunks into her cookie batter thinking they would melt. When they didn't and she pulled the cookies out of the oven, the chocolate chip cookie was born.
The first version of the chocolate chip cookie was very small and crispy and could be eaten in one bite - think the small Famous Amos cookies. But as years went over, the cookie grew in size and variety.
From tiny to enormous, the largest chocolate chip cookie weighed over 40,000 pounds and was 102-feet wide.
Whether the chocolate chip cookie is your favorite too, or whether you prefer another flavor, National Cookie Day celebrates all types and flavors.
