National #ChocolateChipCookieDay
There is a National day of celebration for pretty much everything nowadays and, when you think of it, isn’t that kind of wonderful? There are so many things that we enjoy throughout our lives that we don’t ever give second thought to.
When you take a moment to pause and reflect on these simple pleasures, do you know their history? Where they came from or how they came to be? Knowing a little history can help us to further appreciate these simple pleasures that we often take for granted.
Since today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, we thought the best way to celebrate was to give you some fascinating facts about the cookie in question as well as a quali-tea chocolate chip cookie recipe, Tease Tea style!
Duchess Of Earl Chocolate Chip Cookies
We know there’s an entire internet full of chocolate chip cookie recipes, but we think ours takes the cake... er, cookie.
Duchess of Earl loose leaf tea is our twist on the classic Earl Grey. Not only does it make a perfectly creamy cuppa tea, but it’s also the secret ingredient you’ll never be without again.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Was... An Accident?
You read that right. The chocolate chip cookie we love and adore was created by complete accident. What a sweet discovery!
Ruth Graves Wakefield was the chef who discovered this infamous cookie in 1938. While she was baking her ‘famous’ Chocolate Butter Drop cookies, she ran out of bakers chocolate and ended up chopping up a Nestle semi-sweet chocolate bar in its place. Expecting it to melt through the batter, she carried on with the recipe as usual, and the chocolate chip cookie we all love was born!
Wakefield called the cookie the Chocolate Crunch Cookie and the recipe was soon renowned as “Mrs. Wakefield’s Original Toll House Cookie”. It was subsequently printed on the packaging of Nestle Chocolate Morsels and it’s still printed on their packaging today.
