Hypothesis: Want chewy cookies. Try cookie recipe, they come out crunchy. Bake for less time. Cookies chewy now!
Because the chocolate chip cookie recipe they put on the back of the chocolate chip bag is already the scientifically best possible recipe. It can no longer be improved. That’s why cookie influencers have to resort to stupid shit like this. All the good ideas have already been figured out so the best they can do is play pretend with the stupid ideas.
Reminds me of the idiots at a recent brewery that had an awful tasting Porter. When I complained, they mentioned using an IPA base. I literally laughed.
First of all, that cookie looks absolutely baller. Secondly, damn you I’m going to get crumbl cookies now and fucking up my diet lol
My work here is done!
Child labor is bad and all, but like… Children making cookies is whimsical and fun. It’s not like toiling in the mines (which they yearn for).
Actually mines are where all the fairy dust is gotten from :/
So the mines are more whimsical :/
You should apologize :/
I apologize to the mines (which the children yearn for) for implying they aren’t whimsical and fun.
I suppose it’s so you can take them home and cook them the way you like them.
Must be a local thing.
Because they are yummy?
When you say trends, is it among people not baking long enough? I love gooey cookies as well, but that looks raw.
Recently I used store made cookie dough (because “safe to eat raw”!) in a cast iron pan to make it more like a brownie, maybe like this. Surprise, it’s much thicker than a standard cookie so needs to be cooked longer than the directions say
When you say trend, is it only on TikTok?
Crumbl cookies shops are popping up everywhere. Lines around the block.
Ah, they’re not over here. That’s why I’ve beer heard of it.
I wonder if this trend will catch on to not cooking anything else properly?
I had no idea this was a trend.
You have your preference, I have mine. An underdone cookie is gooey and melty but still brown around the edges, best of both worlds.
It’s a trend? How many homemade cookies from how many households do you eat?
Cookie dough is tasty, idk.
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.
Soft cookies can be make by changing the recipe slightly and not risk salmonella poisoning or other infections.
Ya but you can make soft cookies that are actually cooked
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
Brownies too, I am not a fan.
