☆ I tried chocolate chip cookies from Crumbl and Insomnia and the winner had the best chewy texture

When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, I prefer a chewy texture and balanced sweetness. The chocolate chip cookies my mom made will always reign supreme in my mind. A growing number of bakeries are offering their own takes on the classic chocolate chip cookie. I decided to visit both chains to see how their hero chocolate chip cookies stacked up. The Insomnia chocolate chip cookie was smaller and thinner than the Crumbl cookie, and much flatter.
