National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day: Get free cookies Sunday at DoubleTree, Tiff's Treats and more

Is there anything better than a chocolate chip cookie? Yep, two or more, especially if they're free. Mark your calendar, because this Sunday, Aug. 4, is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

Chocolate chip cookies top the list of Ranker.com's favorite cookies and were voted No. 1 in a YouGov survey of 1,500 US adults.

A sweet invention

Ruth Wakefield, a chef from Massachusetts, is credited with inventing the chocolate chip cookie back in 1938. She came up with the recipe by adding bits of a semi-sweet chocolate bar to her Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe was published, and Nestlé began promoting it on its packaging and ads.

However, evidence suggests chocolate chip cookies may have existed before Wakefield's recipe. BraveTart: Iconic American Desserts by author and pastry chef Stella Parks documents chocolate chip cookie ads from the early 1930s and a recipe for "Chocolate Jumbles" cookies from 1877.
