Toll House Cookies: Vintage Ad and Recipe

Today is National Cookie Day, and there's one cookie that stands out for me as the All American Cookie: Tollhouse Cookies. Who doesn't love a good Chocolate Chip Cookie?

Last year I did a post on Ruth  Graves Wakefield, the creator of Toll House Cookies.  These are the Chocolate Chip Cookies I grew up with. Guess I'm Vintage! Thought I'd post this Vintage Ad for Toll House Cookies!  Recipe for Tollhouse Cookies below!
