Apparently I’m on a “which do you like better” kick. I am a BIG fan of soft cookies. In fact, I mean BIG in a literal sense because eating cookies has that effect on me. I never knew anyone that preferred hard cookies until the other day I was approached with the idea that soft cookies don’t maintain their structural integrity while being dunked.
You know, that’s actually a good point.
I always considered cookie-dunking a workaround designed to facilitate the consumption of hard cookies. I never really thought of it as a preferred method. Don’t get me wrong, I like to dunk cookies, but I always do it because they’re hard in order to soften them up.
Have I been to quick to judge the crumbly ones? Are the crumbs all over the table worth it for the joy of drowning them in a beverage of choice? Does anyone actually prefer hard cookies?!!?
I like crunchy things, so the hard, crunchy cookies are my preference. I don’t dunk often, but only because I don’t like crumbs in my drinks, though the flavor of a crunchy cookie dunked in coffee is very yummy.
Soft cookies are okay if I’m having a cookie craving and nothing else is available. But they will never be my first choice.
Thanks for talking about cookies, Shawn. Maybe you could talk about a juicy steak next or chocolate cake or something?

If it helps any, I have cookie-guilt to live with now. No, that probably doesn’t at all.
Oh, and YUCK to the nth degree.
Soft cookies, definately. Soft cookies are great w/o dunking, and depending on the cookie, sometimes the edges are a little firmer, so they could be removed and dunked if desired.
I’ve never understood dunking either, because I like my cookies to be dry, thanks.
And hard, of course. Crunchy pwns gooey any day.
Note: the above only applies to cookies. Biscuits should NEVER be hard and dry.
I have to admit, I’m shocked by the crunchy cookie fan club. I assumed everyone hated them.
First Star Wars, now hard cookies — I’ve been living a delusion!
MWT, you are correct about biscuits – soft and flaky are the only way to go.
And Shawn, those Star Wars people are just wrong – they’re living a delusion.
*ducks and runs*
I’m sorry people, but it’s Star Wars and soft cookies and that’s that.
Cookies. Freshly made, still warm and thus soft, cookies. They’re best. But good cookies can be either hard or soft.
And no dunking. I never understood dunking, except maybe to make hard cookies or other objects soft. And if you wanted it soft, why not start with the soft version?
