Who loves cookies more than this guy?

I do! When it comes to cookies I can be very picky. The chocolate chips have to taste a certain way, look a certain way, melt a certain way, and smell a certain way. Just the whole texture overall. No, scratch that, actually, I like any type of cookie, I just crave a certain type at a certain time. Like if there’s milk then I can enjoy a hard, crunchy crumbly cookie, but if not then I’d stick with soft, chewy cookies due to my braces.

For my rhetoric class, we were assigned to review and compare a product, so my group decided on cookies. Of course cookies, what’s better than cookies? In doing so, we decided on restaurant made cookies. In that case we chose: Jimmy John’s, McDonalds, Ms. Fields, and Subway. We, well most of us, ate each cookie slowly, savoring each bite so we wouldn’t miss the amount of saltiness and sweetness of each cookie. While conducting our little experiment, we had to take notes. We judged all cookies based on two things; qualitative and quantitative.

Qualitative factors we used in judging were:

Yumminess

Aroma

Chocolaty Goodness

Color

Shape(weird cause I thought all cookies are round, well chocolate chip cookies)

Sharability

Softness/Crunchiness

Quantitative factors we chose to judge upon were:

Price per Cookie

Calories

Sugar

Fat

Number of visible chocolate chips

(Keep in mind, all judgments made were based on my expectations of a good cookie.)

How we judged each cookie as a group, we rated them numerically by a scale of 0-5(0  as being worst and 5 being best).

McDonald's

The first cookie we decided to devour was McDonald's cookie. Now I have to say, McDonald cookies are really delicious! But having it bought the night before was a bad idea because they were stale. 

Qualitative:

Yumminess- 2

Aroma- 3

Chocolatey Goodness- 4.5

Color- 1

Shape- 3

Sharability- 2

Softness/Crunchiness- Wasn't soft not crunchy, it was just hard(like break my tooth on it).So 0.

Quantitative:

Price per Cookie- $0.33 (3 for $1)

Calories- 160

Sugar- 15g

Fat- 8g

Number of visible chocolate chips- 7

One of the cookies that MUST be eaten with milk.

Subway's Cookie

The subway cookie was beyond perfect! Their cookies have to be my favorite out of all four of the cookies tested, hands down! It's like once you start eating one you cannot stop. 

Qualitative:

Yumminess- 5

Ms. Fields

MMM BOY! You best believe Ms. Fields chocolate chip cookie was second best out of the four. Tasted like "Candy canes on Christmas" as Moose from Step Up 2: The Streets would put it. Delicious with milk I would say!

Jimmy John's

Alas! The last cookie. I have to say, this cookie was horrendous, okay maybe a little over-exaggerating, but this was my least favorite cookie. The texture was not of my expectation, the chocolate chips were not the best quality(and what I mean is they seemed like they were fake morsels.) 

Qualitative:

Yumminess- 1.5

Aroma- 2

Chocolatey Goodness- It had a lot of chocolate but not melt in your mouth good, and you already know, 2.3

Color- 4
