Chocolate chip is a great cookie, but only if it's melty. If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie.

I hate crunchy cookies. Chewy or death...or just no cookie I guess.

Crunchy cookies are only acceptable if they soften when dunked in milk.

I love all cookie textures. Idc.

I passionately disagree. Crunchy can be dunked

My fav dunking liquid is coffee. What's yours?
- Coffee! Although I will also dunk in tea
Then it's a biscuit (UK style).
- I agree. Good topic for !biscuits@feddit.uk

False dichotomy. A cookie can be chewy without being melty.

I didn't say chewy
- Right, that's their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of crunchy, in which case they're still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

That's your opinion and it's wrong

Agree to disagree.

Hear me out

Crunchy outside with chewy inside

Yes

No.

Showerthoughts is just /c/unpopularopinion

What's a melty cookie? Like temperature warm so the chocolate is melting?

I feel this in my core! Like this shit is legit resonating with me.

~~Why not both? Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.~~

Edit: wait what do you mean by melty cookie

i make cookies all the time and the key is to cook them for 2 minutes less than the recipe calls for because they'll keep cooking when you take them out and they'll be just the right about of gooey and soft <3

my favorite is a crispy one that for some reason seemed associated with christmass.

Crunchy is fine as long as there's a generous amount of chunky chocolate chips.

The idea cookie is the Subway double chocolate chip, microwaved for 7 seconds.

Warm gooey chunks with a crisp rim. The best of all worlds.

Honestly Subway should give up on their C- tier sandwiches and focus on what they do well.

I sometimes deliberately leave them to sit in the open for a day or so. Makes them less crunchy.

Still better than oatmeal raisin.

I see this opinion a lot and just can't understand it. Oatmeal raisin cookies are great and chocolate chip cookies, melty or not, are just okay.
- Different people have different tastes, for sure. The problem comes with the ratio. Whenever both types are served, the ratio of chocolate chip to oatmeal raisin is always too low. That's probably because there is a minimum batch size and you would need a huge event to get the ratio right.
  Inevitably the last people to grab cookies only have oatmeal raisin as a choice but will probably assume they are chocolate chip, because who hosts a party with cookies and doesn't serve chocolate chip cookies? When you bite into something expecting one thing and get something else it adds to the disappointment.
  It would be like having an equal number of left- and right-handed items but not enough where everyone can have their pick.
  According to this totally scientific site, chocolate containing cookies (any kind) are favored over non-chocolate cookies by 75% of people in North America (probably just US).
WRONG
- You're entitled to your opinion, but you're under no obligation to share it.
Anything is better then the cookie that deceives you in to thinking it's chocolate
