Today I accept 1 query for y'all guys: Why aren't most cookies square-shaped?
Or to pose it differently, why are most of the cookies round-shaped?
It’s 1 of those questions that has troubled me most too I’ve ever wanted to know the response to — but I was also afraid to ask.
When I was a nestling I idea that all cookies laid about every bit squares, but thence people ever nibble off the corners because they're thence tasty. Hence, circular cookies.
Was I onto something?
I dunno, I dunno…
All kidding aside the existent argue every bit to why cookies are to a greater extent than oft than non circular is that a soft dough flattens itself when dropped on a baking pan.
Harder doughs, when manually kneaded or rolled, are easier but to cast into a ball too thence flatten alongside the palm of the hand.
Unless y'all purpose cookie cutters. When y'all accept cookies cutters y'all press the dough alongside a roller too cookies tin sack live given whatever shape y'all want.
Moving onto these (Paleo) Chocolate Chip Cookie Squares. The top dog argue they’re squared is that y'all laid the dough too thence y'all cutting ‘em. And honestly foursquare is the most basic too easiest shape to compass alongside a knife — unless you’re a skilled craftsman, but that’s some other story.
These are thicker too combat crunchier than “regular” cookies. But what is to a greater extent than of import is that they are totally incredibly awesomely amazing.
Need 1 to a greater extent than adverb? Nah, I don’t intend so.
Crunchy alongside the correct total of sweetness, every fourth dimension I combat into 1 I’m thence happy I don’t attention anymore nearly their shape.
True story.
