If you ordered a cookie and didn’t get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.
However I don’t know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don’t think that should bother you.
I think what bothers him is that he had something that he liked and can no longer find. It may not be the case here, but companies (in the US) are en masse changing their recipes to be cheaper to manufacture and it’s affecting the end product.
In the case of something like a cookie which can be made 1000 different ways by 1000 different companies, finding what you like took time, luck, or both. When they change the recipe on you, it’s not a simple, “just buy a different cookie, dummy.” It’s a major undertaking. Sometimes you get lucky and this was the push that allowed you to discover a new, even better, favorite. More often than not though, it’s just another part of your day that got a little bit shittier than it was yesterday.
It’s annoying and I totally get it.
I understand your take and mostly agree with you. I just want to emphasize I’m not trying to call anyone a dummy or anything, just that it’s OK to like what you like.
If companies aren’t going to cater to you, yeah that’s annoying in most scenarios.

Crumbl cookies shops are popping up everywhere. Lines around the block.

Same reason people love raw cookie dough. They just like the taste.
I will never understand this.
It’s a ridiculous business model.
I mean, it clearly works if a lot of businesses do it.
You’re a ridiculous business model.
Your mums a

That’s not fair at all, his mom’s a savvy small business owner who does absolute numbers on OnlyFans. Have you turned your hobby into a career? Didn’t think so.

We’ve been baking some cakes and cookies like that in the Netherlands for decades.
Millions of dollars in yearly profit by the food industry that makes and sell raw cookie flavors disagree with your business acumen.
Based on what measure?
Not if you make it yourself. Saves baking time, cost of purchasing store-bought cookie dough, and cost of electricity.
Plus, it tastes better, because it doesn’t have to have weird shelf stabilizers.
RAW? doesnt that have raw egg
Raw egg is fine iirc it’s the flour that is a concern
You can pretreat flour to make it safe but obviously the question is, did the cookie maker bothered. And raw eggs can be a concern, apparently 1 in 20,000 eggs contains salmonella (inside, not on the shell).
A few minutes at 70°C is enough to kill germs. The dough stays uncooked. Obviously that needs to be controlled. Somehow I doubt they stuck a thermometer in there.
Yeah, the major manufacturers iradiate flour these days. It improves there shelf life and allows them to leave it in backstock a lot longer.
oh
Salmonella brings people together.
Salmonella is eliminated at 165F. Cookies get to around 190-205F when fully baked. So there’s at least 25 degrees Fahrenheit between completely safe from salmonella and fully baked cookies.
You can get eggs from Salmonella vaccinated chickens, it’s just not the norm in north America.
It’s in the flour not the eggs. Eating raw flour is riskier than eating raw eggs.
Yep. Specifically it’s because the flour is not generally sanitized/processed in any way that removes bacteria from the grain or the finished product.
Flour is traditionally only used as an ingredient and will through the cooking process experience heat high enough to kill any bacteria.
If you want to make safe cookie dough to eat raw at home just spread the flour on a sheet tray and toast it in the oven at ~200 degrees for something like 10 minutes. There’s specific directions online.
Whoa, TIL

Yup the flour is very likely to contain e coli. The eggs are still a risk with salmonella but the e coli is a much greater and more potent risk
Terrible except when peanut butter.
Mmmmmm… Borderline raw cookies.
Mmmmmm… Borderline raw.
This is how I’ve loved cookies for my entire life. I’m just happy they are easier to find now.

This is specifically talking about stores like crumbl cookies I think (appears to be what the cookie in the picture is). Very fancy, quite overpriced, pretty tasty, but kinda doughy in the center IMO.
I love these cookies personally. Soft cookies are so much better than hard crunchy ones.
Ya but you can make soft cookies that are actually cooked
Soft cookies can be make by changing the recipe slightly and not risk salmonella poisoning or other infections.
You have your preference, I have mine. An underdone cookie is gooey and melty but still brown around the edges, best of both worlds.
I had no idea this was a trend.
Three things happen during baking that change the flavor of a cookie.
Maillard reaction, caramelization, and the melting of fats. There are more, but those are the three we’re going to talk about.
The maillard reaction takes raw flour and turns it brown. It absorbs some of the sugar in the process, and creates a more complex, nutty flavor. Caramelization also browns some of the sugar, giving it a smoky, bitter flavor. They also give the cookie a firm or crispy texture.
You also melt any fats, like butter, that are in the dough. Melted butter separates and spreads throughout the cookie.
There’s also often an egg that helps build structure for the baked dough, and sometimes baking soda for fluffiness.
This means uncooked dough is sweeter than a baked cookie. It has a soft, dense, and moist texture that disappears when fully baked. It’s butter and sugar held together with flour and egg, and it’s delicious.
I often prefer slightly undercooked baked goods.
I like my cookies medium rare
Bloody.
Same, its like a cookie dough flavored cookie
Yay, food science!
flour and grease smear
Salty, sweet, greasy flour and egg mush. Mmmmm
calorie-dense nutrient paste
This is a trend? Then why all of the sudden can’t I find any cookies in my local grocery stores that aren’t hard as tits? This has been my cookie preference for my whole life!!
You’re fondling the wrong tits
There are no wrong tits, my friend.
my man if the tits you’ve been running into are hard, there’s something wrong
They work at a mannequin warehouse
Read that one right the second time
$50/hour ain’t a bad deal
You need some gingernuts.
This isn’t a tits pun.
These look like Crumbl cookies which are sold in their own stores for ridiculous prices. One cookie can legitimately feed 4 people since they’re so rich (and delicious)
