If I had to rank inventions based on their importance to man, this one would rank pretty high, even if it isn't as important as lets say a dialysis machine or a computer. Stay cool yourself CJ! hugs-Erika

What? No chocolate chip cookies in Texas? I would have expected enormous chocolate chip cookies in Texas because everything is bigger in Texas. 😺

Toll as in collecting a fee to use a road/highway. The original Tollhouse cookie did have nuts in it besides the chocolate chips. I thought "toll" auf Deutsch meant "great". As in "What do you think of this cookie?" "Toll"
