Ever wondered what the state cookie of MA is? Well, you've come to the right place...

Tonight I am baking one of the all-time classics and have decided that they definitely deserve a blog post. So, Chocolate Chip Cookies it is! Nearly everyone has eaten these cookies and I have found that most people have their own unique recipe for them, thus, I will not be sharing a recipe here. However, I thought it might be interesting to simply Google "chocolate chip cookies" and see what facts I could find. For example, did you know that the chocolate chip cookie...

1) Was invented by accident...

2) Is the Official State Cookie of Massachusetts...

3) Has three chains devoted entirely to its baking...

4)Is said to be invented by a woman who sold the recipe to Nestle in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate chips...

5) Annnd, it makes up 25% of all cookies baked in the United States!

For a bit of personal trivia, you may be interested in knowing that I categorically burn the last tray of chocolate chip cookies. Also, what I love most about these cookies (besides their chocolatey goodness) is that every time you bake them they turn out just a bit different. Sometimes chewy, sometimes crispy, every once in awhile they're extra gooey! You're always guaranteed something classic and delicious, but fun and exciting at the same time.

Anyway, I cannot decide how to wrap this up, so ponder this question: what is the plural word for "platypus"? (do not cheat and look this up in a dictionary.)
