The Monks had a sweet tooth and being the extraordinary flavor adventurers they are desired something soft that would mix well with their chocolate. They took a trip to Whitman, Massachusetts and met with the renowned Ruth Wakefield of the Toll House Inn. She provided Horacio, having the knack for baking; as he was a rigid time keeper and followed instructions to a T, with the most delicious cookie recipe.

Horacio went to work recreating using the following recipe.
