The Great Debate: Crumbly or Chewy?
>>7565155
Crumbly for coffee
Chewy for milk
There's only two types of acceptable chocolate chip cookies.
1. Chewy, rich and decadent, the kind of cookie you have as a special treat, big and thick and soft and chewy goodness. This comes from using a combination of butter and shortening or all shortening.
2. Thin and crispy with lightly browned edges. This is the "tea time / coffee break " cookie. Buttery, crispy, melts in your mouth deliciousness. This is achieved by using all butter in your recipe.
All other mid-tier chocolate chip cookies can fuck right off.

Chew ones are soft, they have a little bend when you fold them. Crunchy ones are hard and brittle, they snap when you fold them.

Scones have a sweetener in them, biscuits do not. I will concede however that that is the ONLY difference

>Go to McDonalds for breakfast inkeeping with the local customs
>They serve savoury scones with their fry-up

>Demand to speak to the chef
>The maître d'hôtel informs me neither are currently in the establishment
>A young man who I can only assume is the saucier informs me I am a "mufugga" and asks me and my family to leave

Chewy because that's how they always come out when I bake them

Ohh I see, then in my opinion chewy are great by themselves while crunchy/crumbly are best with a glass of milk to dunk them in.
>>7567080
I think there are two other key differences:
1. American biscuits have a good bit of shortening in them, making them buttery and slightly greasy to the touch, more so than scones.
2. American biscuits are generally fluffy in texture. Scones in my experience are denser and more chewy.
Then again I've only had scones that were made in America by Americans.

Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.
That's just how the cookie crumbles. Where did all this chewy non sense come from?
by chewy do you mean soft?
because soft. not chewy.
>>7565155
Chewy at all times
>>7565160
I second that notion

I think it is important to have both. In a cookie it is essential to have a crispy outside for dipping and to highlight the salt in the cookie, but also a chewy inside to absorb the milk and highlight the sweetness. A good chocolate chip cookie should be the perfect desert to dip into a glass of cold milk and a perfect amalgamation of sweet and savory, so in order for this to occur it is necessary to have it be both chewy and crunchy!
I like them both, but chewy usually is my go-to.
Gotta have crumbly with milk, obviously.
>>7565155
Crumbly. I prefer the crunch of a firm cookie.

>using shortening for anything except candles
>>7573784
I prefer the chewy shortened version any day. The all butter cookies are too brittle and cheap tasting. But I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.
>>7573805
how can all butter cookies be cheap tasting? shortening is literally a cheap alternative to butter/lard, it has no flavor and is unhealthy.
crumbly is for gay betas, chewy is obviously the better choice
