Chocolate chips are a required ingredient for making chocolate-chip cookies, which were invented in 1937 when Ruth Graves Wakefield of the Toll House Inn near Whitman, Massachusetts added cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestlé chocolate bar to a cookie recipe. The cookies were a huge success, and Wakefield reached an agreement with Nestlé to add her recipe to the chocolate bar's packaging in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate. Initially, Nestlé included a small chopping tool with the chocolate bars, but in 1939 they started selling the chocolate in chip (or "morsel") form. The Toll House brand of Nestlé is named for the inn.

They used to be chips, literal pieces "chipped" from a larger chunk of chocolate. The name survived beyond the improvement in manufacture.
