An All Important Question about Cookies

Agreed.
In fact there is a thread in MPSIMS titled:
“Is air conditioning <somewhat> of a scam?”

That could just as easily read:

“Are hard and crispy chocolate chip cookies <somewhat> of a scam?”

I’ve been scammed before and I didn’t like it.

Soft and chewy.

I almost agree. Soft and chewy nearly all the time. Oreos are an exception: as a kid (1950’s) I liked them a little stale and smooshy; today I can take them either way, fresh or bendy.

Soft and chewy for chocolate chip ONLY if freshly baked. Packaged one that are chewy have a consistency that I hate.
