From one chocolate chip cookie scientific method enjoyer to another, this is seriously one of my favourite Substack articles ever. I loved the MikeDi graphics, appreciate the website/Google Maps links, and of course the assistant shoutout.

If you ever want more cookie science maybe you've read: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe but it seems you have it down to a T.

Admittedly I think the best cookies are the ones you get to break in half and share with a buddy, and would love a pizza study.

Absolutely love the analysis, what a treat of a lunch-time read. The flourist cookies are a personal favorite, but I'm definitely biased towards salty CCCs.

I cannot express enough how much I love this article! I also agree "every cookie has a time and a place". As the default baker in my household I have an additional criteria of "anything I didn't have to bake myself" as instantly being a certain percentage more delicious.

On the flip side others think whatever you bake is a certain percentage more delicious 😎
