It included the recipe “Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookie”, which rapidly became a favorite to be baked in American homes.

- Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add the chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick.
