4) Chocolate chip cookies, a beloved sweet treat, were invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s. Wakefield ran the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts and added chopped chocolate to her cookie dough, expecting it to melt and create an all-chocolate cookie.

Today, they are a staple in cookie jars, dessert menus, and homemade baking, enjoyed by people of all ages.
