Ahoy! It’s Chocolate Chip Day


Friday, May 15, is National Chocolate Chip Day. Who knew?


By coincidence, I just learned about a taste test of chocolate-chip cookies conducted by Consumer Reports.

The test included 13 popular brands.

The favorites were Health Valley and Keebler Chips Deluxe Original—and the latter costs about half as much as the former.

For details on CR’s test findings, see the Journal’s May 20 food section.


In celebration of National Chocolate Chip Day, here are a few bits of trivia, courtesy of Yahoo!:
—31 percent of searches for chocolate-chip cookies are by people age 17 and under.
—75 percent of searches are by females.
—Top chocolate brands searched recently were Godiva, Hershey and Nestle.

And the most-searched recipe for chocolate-chip cookie? You guessed it, Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie.
