This day does not so much celebrate chocolate chips by themselves, but rather chocolate chip cookies.
In the late 1930s, Ruth Wakefield, the owner of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, created the chocolate chip cookie. This is often said to have been an accidental creation, and Ruth is said to have believed that the chocolate chips would melt into the cookie, but she stated that they were a deliberate creation.
These are cookies with, as it sounds, whole chips of chocolate in them. This can be milk, white or dark chocolate, depending on preference, and cocoa may also be added to the mix making the cookies even more chocolaty. Instead of using baking chocolate in the recipe, which does melt when they are baked, normal chocolate is used. As stated, cookies can be had with different chocolate types in them, but semi-sweet is one of the more common. The chocolate is broken into chips, and added to the mix before baking.
