RAW? doesnt that have raw egg

I hate crumble cookies as well. Weak unsatisfying texture, and way too sweet before they even add all that syrup shit. Also they're too big, I take like one bite and the sweetness is already unbearable.

If you ordered a cookie and didn't get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.

However I don't know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don't think that should bother you.

Three things happen during baking that change the flavor of a cookie.

Maillard reaction, caramelization, and the melting of fats. There are more, but those are the three we're going to talk about.

The maillard reaction takes raw flour and turns it brown. It absorbs some of the sugar in the process, and creates a more complex, nutty flavor. Caramelization also browns some of the sugar, giving it a smoky, bitter flavor. They also give the cookie a firm or crispy texture.

You also melt any fats, like butter, that are in the dough. Melted butter separates and spreads throughout the cookie.

There's also often an egg that helps build structure for the baked dough, and sometimes baking soda for fluffiness.

This means uncooked dough is sweeter than a baked cookie. It has a soft, dense, and moist texture that disappears when fully baked. It's butter and sugar held together with flour and egg, and it's delicious.

Yet when my sourdough comes out this way, everyone acts like i shit my pants

Same reason people love raw cookie dough. They just like the taste.

Give it to me raw

Brownies too, I am not a fan.

Salmonella brings people together.

One thing to consider is that delivery and takeout are significantly more popular than they were 4 years ago. Some of these chains either anticipate or encourage you to heat your cookies just before you eat them and halfway cooking them gives the best results. A place just down the road from me encourages 1 minute on high in the air fryer or 3 in a toaster oven before eating

you can buy raw cookie dough thats meant to be eaten uncooked. and not some niche thing, its at all the big box grocery stores. its no stretch to imagine why a half-baked cookie might be a thing

This is how I've loved cookies for my entire life. I'm just happy they are easier to find now.

I don't think it's the raw part that's the trend so much as big cookies are, and big cookies tend to be less cooked in the center.

But then again, raw cookie dough is delicious. 🤤

Because I will eat fistfuls of raw cookie dough. Raw eggs are safe where I'm at anyways.

This is a trend? Then why all of the sudden can't I find any cookies in my local grocery stores that aren't hard as tits? This has been my cookie preference for my whole life!!

The raw dough makes me slightly uncomfortable, so I’m entirely certain that I should violently impose my preferences on everyone who does not agree.

Mmmmmm... Borderline raw cookies.

Warm and soft cookies are the best cookies
