Cookies light and crispy, or chewy? In the war of chocolate chip cookie aesthetics, Consumer Reports weighed in and crispy won, though chewy dominated the leading pack.
The
Yonkers, N.Y.-based test meisters studied 18 brands of chocolate chip
cookies, including everything from packaged food giants like Nabisco and Keebler, to quick service eateries like McDonald's, Subway and Dunkin' Donuts. The only cookie to earn an "excellent" was
from Tate's Bake Shop, sold at Whole Foods or a similar grocery store. While almost all the cookies tested received "good" results from tasters, the only three to be labeled "very good" came from
QSRs: Starbucks, McDonald's, Subway. All three of those cookies were described by tasters as "soft" and "chewy."
