What is the Best Kind of Cookie?
There are plenty of factors to consider when trying to understand why people are drawn to a particular cookie. Is it the texture, consistency, composure, or simply just the taste that gives people the joy and satisfaction of eating a cookie?
After intensive research, and many full bellies, we have created the one and only list that matters when it comes to ranking the top cookies and establishing which kind of cookie chews up the rest*.
*Regardless of the list, you can’t go wrong with any cookie as all cookies are delicious.
5) Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
We’ll start off by saying this is a classic cookie that gets the job done. A Mr. Reliable of cookies if you will, it deserves a top-5 spot. Why is it only number 5? It might be because, when you’re minding your business at work and you get an email stating there are cookies in the break room, your initial excitement fizzles when you arrive to find only oatmeal raisin cookies. It might be because your smile then fades as you walk back to your deska little less-hyped than the walk from. Don’t get us wrong, we love oatmeal raisin cookies, but they just don’t bring the same excitement associated with the word ‘cookie’ as the others on this list.
