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

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

        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.

    I passionately disagree. Crunchy can be dunked

    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.

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

    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

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

    Edit: wait what do you mean by melty cookie

      Anything is better then the cookie that deceives you in to thinking it’s chocolate

      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).

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

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
