I love a mix.
I, like you, prefer a bittersweet chocolate in my cookie. For me, the chocolate is there to offset the sweetness of the cookie. Agreed. Yeah. I have a theory, Jessica, that's related to this question. Okay. I'm on the edge of my seat.
So you are aware, I know, I don't know if all of our listeners are, but you and I have talked about this recent phenomenon of the chocolate-less chocolate chip cookie.
Which... Yep. Wonder how you feel about it. And we talked privately about trying to wrap our heads around this. Is it a chocolate chip cookie? Is it not? What is the purpose and what is the reason for it? And my theory is that people who want a chocolate-less chocolate chip cookie perhaps have not had a chocolate chip cookie with the right chocolate in it.
Perhaps they've really had a lot of semi-sweet or milk chocolate or white chocolate in the cookies and they're getting the chocolate out because they want a cookie that's less sweet. And but if they tried a cookie with, you know, a 70 percent and if they want to go really dark, you know, like an 80 percent that they might find a better, shall I say, harmony of flavors?
Are we going to say symphony of flavors?
But it's a better balance that might endear you to the chocolate chip cookie more.
No, I'm just... I'm trying to collect myself. I feel so... I just... I don't know why. That was really emotional for me because I understand where Flora is coming from. And I hear the longing in her voice to eat that cookie dough.
Wait, before you go into that, I just got to say, for those listeners who can't see Jessica, it is paining her to say I have to say this. She does not want to say this, but it's true.
edible cookie dough at home i'm sorry to say flora i wish it weren't so none that we can recommend anyway none that we can recommend in good conscience for the children of america yeah see this is why i don't have kids i mean like i just i will never be able to be a parent because i hear i heard that and i was like i want to give her right now
You know, the more we're talking about chocolate chip cookies and answering these questions.
Every episode, we like to check in with Jessica to see what wildly surprising and full-throated ideas are in her head. Around the office here at King Arthur, we have a name for these ideas. We call them Jess Opinions. And now, for the first time ever, we're making that a segment of our podcast. Welcome to Jess Opinions. Jessica, what is your Jess Opinion this week?
What's wrong with me? I cannot believe. Okay. Please explain. This is.
Yeah, that was a little weird.
Wait, so when you make chocolate chip cookies, you don't like burn your tongue eating one straight out of the pan?
I would never. By the time my cookies are cool, like I've eaten half of them. I feel disgusting, but it's not because they're warm. It's because I eat too many.
That's a good point. The edges have not had time to set up and get crispy. Right. So it's all it's sort of like all middle. All middle. Yeah. Oh, gosh. I never thought about that before. Now I'm getting a little grossed out.
Don't change me because I like the way I am.
Definitely going to get hate mail. But you know what? I will defend you till the day I die. You have a right to like cookies at whatever temperature you want. And that temperature seems to be not too cold. Definitely not warm, but just right. And that's fine.
Okay, that sounds odd. It sounds like an old cookie.
