Why Is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day Special?

I think we all have fond memories of sitting at a table as a young child and indulging in some fresh warm soft baked cookies with a tall glass of cold milk.

Also, a lot of us tend to think this holiday is about the cookie itself, when in reality this holiday is about celebrating what’s inside of the cookie !! Those delicious Chocolate Chips. One of the most beloved ingredients in the United States. This day is dedicated to enjoying and appreciating the tiny morsels that have become a staple in kitchens nationwide.
