Cookie taste test

*Did you know that chocolate chip cookies were made by accident, they were made by Ruth Wakefield when she added a broken up bar of Nestlé semi sweet chocolate chips, intending them to make a chocolate cookie.

I know this isn’t my typical type of post, but we are practicing #StayHomeMN. We made three types of chocolate chip cookies this week to do a comparison.

The three types of cookies that I had were Neiman Marcus, the perfect chocolate chip cookie, and 6oz chocolate cookies. Neiman Marcus cookies were good, although the texture was rough and had a taste of oatmeal, the inside of the cookie was good, chocolatey and delicious. The six ounce cookies were good, because the sheer amount of cookie that is produced is awesome, and there are 15 ounces of chocolate chips in the recipe. There is almost too much chocolate, because the actual cookie is lost. The perfect chocolate chip cookies were good because the recipe was making a classic chocolate chip cookie, and it had a good balance of chocolate to cookie. One downside was that the cookie did not have anything making it unique.

I am now going to go onto the phase of this post where I analyze the similarities and differences of each cookie compared to the others. The first cookie is the Neiman Marcus, and they were the healthiest out of all of the cookies. The Neiman Marcus cookies were also the most unique cookies out of all of them because they used oatmeal, and they had chocolate chips, and chocolate chunks. Some of the cons were that the texture was rough and bumpy, and the cookie itself was crumbly. The 6 ounce cookies were by far the biggest and each cookie was 6 ounces each and the recipe made six, 6 ounce cookies. The actual cookie was unbalanced compared to the other ones, and even though it is the biggest, the cookie lacks key balance of flavor compared to the other cookies. The final cookie, the perfect chocolate chip cookie, was the best looking, but the smallest per cookie. The pros to that cookie was that the ratio of chocolate to cookie was the best, and aesthetically it was the best looking. The cons of this cookie were that there was no definitive feature that made it unique, and the cookies were small. Because of this my third favorite cookie was Neiman and Marcus, in second 6 ounce cookie, and that means that the best cookie was the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
