- draugadrotten 9y agoAssuming poster is a relative of Ruth Graves Wakefield..his user profile seems to match this story. "On March 20, 1939, Wakefield gave Nestlé the right to use her cookie recipe and the Toll House name. In a bargain that rivals Peter Minuit’s purchase of Manhattan, the price was a dollar—a dollar that Wakefield later said she never received (though she was reportedly given free chocolate for life and was also paid by Nestlé for work as a consultant)." https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/sweet-morsels-a-history-of-the-chocolate-chip-cookie https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/sweet-morsels...
