Chocolate Leaf Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies were accidentally invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in 1938 when she ran out of baker’s chocolate and substituted it with chopped chocolate, expecting it to melt and spread throughout the cookie dough. Instead, the chocolate pieces held their shape, creating the first chocolate chip cookies.
