What, you think just because you started this thread, you own it? You are not the boss of me.
Besides, I didn't even bring up how unappealing chocolate chip cookies are.  |
LOL. I move that we bring back GC Court and GC Law and Order. There is so much wrong stuff in your post. This is out of control. LOL.

Soft for sure. Slightly crispy on the very outer edge but soft and chewy on the inside is perfection though. Totally soft is better than totally hard.

Crispy? MC, wth kind of cookies are crispy, besides wafers? I thin crispy is related to hard.
Is "cookies" a euphemism for something else? If so, I prefer no cookies right now. If I have a hard cookie, I tend to have a few contractions along with it.

Soft!!!
As if I wasn't craving cookies enough all day, now I really want a package of those Chips Ahoy you put in the microwave. In the red bag.
Hopefully my roommate comes home w/cookies since she told her mom I was craving them.
Because I SERIOUSLY need them.

And SOFT stays SOFT longer if you put it in a ziploc bag with a slice of a loaf of bread in it.

I don't think I've ever had a shortbread as good as Panera Breads, and I've eaten a lot of cookies.
Pregnant lady is willing to be the judge in a cookie tasting contest. PM me if you'd like to mail me your submissions.

I'm not sure I knew you're pregnant. Congrats!!
As for Panera, pay me little attention on that one. I have semi-irrational issues with Panera. And I also have a pet peeve (again, perhaps semi-irrational) about the current trend in many chain bakeries (Panera and Whole Foods come to mind) of making things like cookies and scones so big that I think they lose their character.
On top of that, I guess I'm a bit of a (semi-irrational) snob when it comes to shortbread -- I've been baking shortbread for over 30 years. I don't think I've ever had a store-bought shortbread, even one I liked, that I thought could compare to homemade, unless the store in question was a good, local bakery that made them fresh. Good shortbread is made with nothing but butter (real butter), flour and sugar, with maybe a touch of flavoring such as vanilla or almond extract or citrus zest. For that reason, I don't think one can get the right delicate consistency for shortbread from a pre-made dough that places like Panera pretty much have to use.
But hey -- pregnant lady gets to eat and enjoy whatever makes her happy!!
