Growing up if you asked me what my favorite dessert was, I would say chocolate chip cookies. I was obsessed with chocolate chip cookies (with chocolate cake and ice cream as very strong runner ups). In a good mood? Eat chocolate chip cookies. Having a rough day? Nothing a chocolate chip cookie can’t solve. When I would come back during break in my first year of college, one of my good friends would let his mom know so she could make me a big batch of chocolate chip cookies.
Then one day I happened to eat a Tate’s cookie. I had a gluten free roommate and she was munching on these crunchy chocolate chip cookies. I tried one and immediately loved the texture. I don’t know what it was but the crunchy cookie texture was addicting.
So although my go to will always be chewy chocolate chip cookies, sometimes you just need a crunchy cookie to satisfy your craving.
