Chips Ahoy cookies were accidentally invented at the Tall House Inn restaurant. When preparing sugar cookies, a kitchen worker accidentally dropped some chocolate bars into the cookie dough. Rather than throwing them out, the chef told her to bake them as is. The result was the first Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookie. Chips Ahoy now comes in various package sizes and types, including classic chocolate chip cookies, chunky chocolate cookies, and mini single-serve packs. The price can vary depending on the size and type of package purchased, with 12-cookie packs generally costing around $36. Chips Ahoy advertises frequently and is widely available in grocery stores nationwide.
