for those who like gooey-inside chocolate chip cookies, if you visit New York City, Levain Bakery makes them exactly like that

i prefer a crunchy CCC (because then I can dunk it in tea lol) but i appreciate the technical difficulty of achieving an over-easy cookie without under-baking some of the dough

don't even bother even turning the oven on. chill the dough then hand me the bowl and a spoon.

This chain does "medium rare" cookies.

They normally bake them fresh. Difficult to beat warm gooey cookies.

I should still be able to hear it mooing.

"Give it to us raw and wr-r-r-r-riggling, you keep nasty chips!"

What do you think Chewy Chips Ahoy are? 🤷‍♂️

Eh, I like 'em with crispy edges, well done with the proper color on the bottom. No pale bottoms.
