Great Big Story, the video network dedicated to exploring unspoken, over-the-top, yet fascinating topics, tackles a classic debate: Are cookies better dunked in milk? To settle it, they consulted Matt Hartings, a chemistry professor at American University in Washington, D.C., who specializes in culinary chemistry.
The verdict is clear: Yes, cookies are scientifically superior when dipped in milk. According to Professor Hartings, milk alters the cookie's chemical makeup, softening overly intense flavors like excessive sweetness, saltiness, or bitterness for a perfectly balanced taste. So go ahead—dunk away!
