“Cookery is as old as the world, but it must also remain, always, as modern as fashion.”
Phileas Gilbert (1857-1942)
The official state cookie of Massachusetts is the chocolate chip cookie, invented in 1930 at the Toll House Restaurant. (Pennsylvania is also considering the chocolate chip cookie as their official cookie.)
