Did you know that this past Friday, May 15th, was National Chocolate Chip Day ? I didn’t until I read an email from a family member Friday morning mentioning it. It was 72 years ago in 1937 that a woman named Ruth Graves Wakefield came up with the concept for chocolate chips. She was baking cookies and didn’t have one of the ingredients called for in her recipe, so she substituted chopped up chocolate bar bits, and the rest is history! I was not about to miss out on an opportunity to celebrate Ms. Wakefield’s genius idea, so I turned to a recipe I recently saw featured on Bakerella for Nestle’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie The pie is a cinch and is quick to whip up and smells amazing when it’s baking. I highly recommend having someone else around when the pie comes out of the oven so you don’t end up like me, justifying “just one more bite in honor of Ms. Wakefield” about a thousand times. Think gooey chocolate chip cookie in pie form. Yum.
