AMERICAN CHOCOLATE CHIPS COOKIES

I have no idea why this is called 

American Chocolate Chips cookies.

To me, it is simply Chocolate chip cookies.

Why American?

Anybody out there can tell me?

I am not a fan of cookies
I made these for my daughters & grandchildren.

After baking, I couldn't help but taken 4 pieces!
Is it because these were crunchy?
Yes, very crunchy!
Also,
I think it must have been fresh from the oven!

This recipe originated from Quay Po Cooks,

modified by Sonia a.k.a Nasi Lemak Lover

and now

I simplified the method.

Haha, lazy me!
