The chocolate chip cookie, also known as the Toll House Cookie, was accidentally developed by Ruth Graves Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn near Whitman, Massachusetts, in 1937. Wakefield was making chocolate cookies but ran out of regular baker's chocolate and substituted broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, assuming it would melt and mix into the batter. It did not, and the cookie with chips of chocolate was born. (The restaurant, housed in a former toll house built in 1709, burned down in 1984.)

Ruth Wakefield invented the Toll House brand of chocolate chip cookies. Ruth Graves Wakefield graduated from the Framingham State Normal School Department of Household Arts in 1924. She worked as a dietitian and lectured on food, until, together with her husband she bought a tourist lodge named the Toll House Inn.
Ruth Wakefield prepared the recipes for the meals served to the guests at the Inn and gained local notoriety for her deserts. One of her favorite recipes was for Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate and one day Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She substituted a semi-sweet chocolate bar cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate the chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, the small pieces only softened.
As it so happened the chocolate bar had been a gift from Andrew Nestle of the Nestle Chocolate Company. As the Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe became popular, sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar increased. Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield struck a deal. Nestle would print the Toll House Cookie recipe on its packaging and Ruth Wakefield would have a lifetime supply of Nestle chocolate. I OWN NONE OF THIS I JUST WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH AND THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD EXPLAINATION

Yep the people above me are right. The first choclolate chip cookie was invented by in 1930 when Toll House Inn baker Ruth Wakefield threw chunks of chocolate into her batter (rather than melt the chocolate) to save time.

i heard it was a woman working for a hotel (tollhouse) and she was supposed to make chocolate cookies (with cocoa powder or something), but only had a chocolate bar. she broke the chocolate bar in small pieces and put it in the cookie dough, expecting it to melt and distribute itself through the whole cookie, but when they were done baking, she realized that they stayed in their place and only got softer.
and so became the chocolate chip cookie.
