Is there anything better than a chocolate chip cookie? Best answer: two or more chocolate chip cookies.
And Sunday, Aug. 4, is a good day to have one or more of them, because it is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Chocolate chip cookies are the Simone Biles, the "GOAT," of cookies – it's the No. 1 cookie on Ranker.com.
Chocolate chip cookies are also the No. 1 favorite dish in a YouGov survey of at least 1,500 U.S. adults surveyed April-June 2024. Chocolate chip cookies topped eggs and bacon, lasagna, nachos, macaroni and cheese and other dishes in the survey.

When were chocolate chip cookies invented?
The cookie has likely been around more than a century. Ruth Wakefield, a chef who ran the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, with her husband, is credited with inventing chocolate chip cookies by cutting a semi-sweet chocolate bar into bits and adding them to her Butter Drop Do cookies. She published a recipe for them in 1938 and Nestlé began promoting the recipe on its packaging and in the company's ads.
But there's evidence the chocolate chip cookie has been around longer. In her 2017 book "BraveTart: Iconic American Desserts," author and pastry chef Stella Parks details how she found chocolate chip cookies being advertised in supermarket ads in the early 1930s and recipes for "Chocolate Jumbles" cookies made with grated chocolate printed as far back as 1877.
Still, Wakefield having "popularized and developed a recipe that is still in use 100 years later is incredibly impressive," Parks told the Gastropod podcast, which is hosted on the food news site Eater, in April 2022.
Let's just be thankful the cookies are here today. Here's how to get a free one for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.
