National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day
Today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day—so I did my part by photographing this heroic mound of cookies instead of eating them. A public service, really.
The chocolate chip cookie itself was invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added chopped-up chocolate to cookie dough, expecting it to melt. It didn’t—and the chocolate chip was born. One of history’s most delicious accidents.
Mine came from a bag, not an inn, but they still ended up in front of my camera instead of disappearing into late-night regret. No stylists. No props. Just cookies on a black background—safe from temptation (mostly).
