New York Times News Service Too bad sainthood is not generallyconferred on bakers, for there is one who is a possible candidatefor canonization. She fulfills most of the requirements: (1) She'sdead. (2) She demonstrated heroic virtue. (3) Cults have beenformed around her work. (4) Her invention is considered by many tobe a miracle. The woman: Ruth Graves Wakefield.
Her contribution to the world: the chocolate chip cookie. One day in the 1930s, Wakefield, an owner of the Toll House Inn, inWhitman, Mass., 23 miles south of Boston, was busy baking in herkitchen. Depending on which of the many legends you subscribe to,the fateful moment may have happened when a bar of Nestle semisweetchocolate jittered off a high shelf, fell into an industrial mixerbelow, and shattered, or when Wakefield, in a brilliant move tomake her Butter Drop Do cookies a bit sexier, chopped up a bar ofchocolate and tossed in the pieces.
Whether by accident or design, her Toll House Chocolate CrunchCookies delighted her customers and became the culinary mother toan august lineage that almost 80 years later is still multiplyingand, in some cases, mutating. Made from nothing more than flour, eggs, sugar, leavening agents,salt, and chocolate, the cookie seems idiot-proof. After all, it'ssimple enough that an eighth-grader can make it, right? Notnecessarily.
"If it was just a matter of a recipe," said Herve Poussot, abaker and an owner of Almondine, in Dumbo, Brooklyn, "we'd all beout of business. It's what goes into the making of the cookie thatmakes the difference."
