This was a delightful read! Thanks you for sharing. I've been making Toll House cookies since I was a wee sprout. In fact, in the 1970s, when my single mom was struggling, I set up a Tv tray on Fairfax boulevard in Los Angeles and would sell them to try to earn a little extra money. I've been making a vegan version that is as delicious. I substitute soy butter, Egg Replacer (which is made from potato starch and sold at Whole Foods), and I use dark chocolate chips. They are so delicious and I've had friends tell me they prefer them to the dairy version. Go figure.

I'd give your vegan version a try!
And what a sweet story about your cookie stand!
I definitely need to check out that cookbook !
There are several copies from the 40s available but apparently the first edition is near impossible to find. Good luck.and bon appetit!
