Hey there! This is Rain- that tall, devilishly good-looking, and intelligent cashier you may encounter while stopping by Nature's Express. =)
As a lover of food, people, and world peace I find it in the best interest of customer-kind to give some tips on a very important subject... just in case I'm not there while you are visiting. This subject of course is about... COOKIES. Seriously.
People hardly realize that selecting the perfect cookie is an art! There are questions that must be asked and procedure to follow that will allow one to maximize their AWESOME COOKIE EXPERIENCE. Please consider the following!
1: What kind of cookie-monster are you? Soft or crunchy?
-A survey taken at the restaurant showed that men tend to lean more towards crunchy cookies... women towards soft. Sometimes the crunchy/soft factor can make or break a cookie's taste in one bite. So when you walk up to the counter first ask if the type of cookie you want is soft or crunchy.
2: What temperature does your mouth crave?
-Have us throw a chocolate chip cookie under a heat lamp for a minute to enjoy a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth experience and optimum greatness. Or take home a peanut butter cookie ad refrigerate/freeze it. It will change your life! A science report released by BBC in 2004 proved that temperature DOES have a taste... so indulge in it. It will be worth your while!
3: Sweet or Salty?
-Cookies are an amazing snack with many different character types. There is the solid cookie- such as a peanut butter cookie that will have a better tendency to fill you up quicker and kick you some protein. The power cookie like the Oatmeal Walnut Date will leave you feeling energized and ready to tackle the world. The lighter cookie like the Lime Tahini that will give you a hint of sweet without killing your tastebuds. Or an all out glorious sweet tooth cookie like the Chocolate chip that will just sing in your mouth. Please do not abuse the power of tastebuds! Listen to them! If you are craving sweet go for sweet... not a lighter cookie just because you think it's necessary. If you are craving saltier cookies don't force yourself to stick with the safe Chocolate Chip cookie. Try something new like a Trail Mix cookie... If you fail to follow your taste buds, you will fail to snag an opportunity to achieve total cookie satsifaction!
4: BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
-The laws of cookie physics state: THE BIG COOKIE GOES ON THE BOTTOM. This of course is to stabilize the pile and give an aesthetically pleasing air to the cookie tray. If you want to get the most for your money... get the biggest cookie! Next time you get a cookie ANYWHERE get your money's worth and go for the one on the bottom.
Now I'm not saying the above is a cookie-cutter perfect way to find deliciousness. Goodness knows I have made some bad cookie choices in my day! However, I think and hope you will find these tips helpful in obtaining some of the most memorable pastry moments you will ever have. Thank you for reading and good luck!
