Cookies: Chewy or Crunchy?

a reply to: kosmicjack

I love crunchy cookies! I can't stand chewy chocolate chip. It makes me gag! I like crispy chocolate chip and peanut butter. Oh yummy!

My favorite are cookies that are crunchy around the edges, but soft and gooey in the center. It's the best of both worlds.
There is a brand of frozen gluten free (I've got celiac) cookies, called Kippys, that are perfect. I bake at 330 for 15 minutes, then let them sit and cool for 15 minutes more. They come out perfectly crunchy and ooey gooey! Might have to make one right now.

I prefer a chewy texture. Yum!

I don't like Chewy cookies because of all the fur in them. Crunchy cookies are good.

Snickerdoodles should be like lovely little pillows - but I would happily accept any snickerddodles. They are magic

Next question: what's the best kind of pizza?

We're so funny - people. One of my favorite things is knowing people's favorite things

Did you happen to catch any of that internet battle on the proper way to eat Pho?

i liked this

My brother, the chef, likes his pho simplest: noodles, broth, white and green onions. Crowned as our mother's perfect son and our family's beloved oldest male grandson, he dutifully serves his parents and me but is the first to begin eating. He does this humbly, complimenting effusively after the first bite but otherwise saying nothing until the last drop is gone. He, of all of us, must finish his bowl, to honor the dish and our mother's efforts in making it. The entire meal—first boil, colorful garnishes, the act of eating—is eccentric art and an act of love.

Nice. Me too. I love how food brings people together

That article is good. The whole debate (other places on the internet) was a little angry and too political for this lovely thread

But what I did like about it were so many of the responses - and how everyone has their own ideas about the perfect Pho

Which obviously applies to the perfect anything

Here you go - my favorite scene from one of my favorite movies

My apologies to Kosmic - for going so far off topic :-)

I don't properly enjoy a cookie(s) unless there is milk to dunk them in, so I have to go with crunchy.

I once worked at a Famous Amos cookie store, and their chocolate chips are, for me, the epitome of perfect cookie texture. Crunchy, but with a buttery sort of snap. Reminds me of another cookie of my childhood called a "Pecan Sandie". I think I could still gum such a cookie even years from now. (ew!)

Now I'm hungry and need a cookie or two or ten.

Oh almost forgot...Here are some cookies for everyone.
