Eating a few cookies for a snack can't hurt... as long as you don't overdo it. Indeed, they don't provide all the necessary nutrients for our bodies. And we should leave some room for a balanced dinner. The recipe for cookies was born by chance. Around 1930, a young American innkeeper tried to make cookies by mixing pieces of Nestlé "semi-sweet" chocolate in her head. Surprise: they didn't melt during baking. The success was immediate and the production of this chocolate was relaunched.
