The Great Debate: Hard vs. Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are the snack to which all munchies aspire. They're almost universally liked, easy to make (thanks to the frozen food aisle) and available everywhere. Yet, among CC cookie lovers there has always been a debate: Do you prefer hard or soft?

Hard: Chips Ahoy Real Chocolate Chip Cookies	Soft: Keebler Original Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
	.
Appearance: That classic, familiar blue packaging, with perfectly sized CC cookies inside.	Appearance: Smooth, round cookie with just a few chips visible on the outside.
Cost: $.89 for four cookies	Cost: $1.99 for 10 cookies
Calories: 190 calories, 9 g fat for four cookies	Calories: 80 calories, 3.5 g fat per cookie
Taste: Sweet and chocolatey, with a satisfying crunch when you bite into it. The chocolate chips themselves are pretty small, and there aren't a lot in each cookie.	Taste: Even though you can't see them, the cookie's lousy with chocolate chips. Not to be corny, but they are close to the way fresh-baked cookies taste -- soft and gooey with chocolate.
