Consumer Reports Picks Top Cookie; Kids Don't Care

Posted by KeriF

How do I know the new ranking of chocolate chip cookies by Consumer Reports magazine is bogus? Because I have kids.

Even though the CR study was done with "trained sensory panelists,"  I'd put my 3-year-old son up against them any day. Why?

Have you ever tried to tell a 3-year-old what to like or not to like? "But honey, this is a top-rated cookie! You have to like it!"

I'm sure that CR winners Health Valley's Mini and Keebler Chips Deluxe Original are very tasty chocolate chip cookies. But as any parent will tell you, kids like what they like. End of story. 

What I really want to know is: what kind of chocolate chip cookie do the children of the "trained sensory panelists" like? That would be a cookie I might buy.  Because let's face it, the palate of a child and that of an adult are different. That's why we don't share our decadent chocolate truffles with our kids; they just wouldn't appreciate it.

So what's your kid's favorite chocolate chip cookie? Do the Consumer Reports rankings sway you at all?

Homemade! Honestly, I don't think I've ever met a packaged choc chip cookie that didn't have some sort of factory-sealed, package-y taste to it.

I should say that I make mine with vanilla pudding, which is what makes them so good.
