This is one of my pet peeves! I am originally from NY and moved to TX where they like almost everything raw!! A croissant should NOT COLLAPSE in the middle when properly baked. Baguettes should not bend over the end of a table, and choc chip cookies should not have a gooey center of raw dough!!!

Thanks - I just had to let that out lol

I totally agree. I argue with my crew everyday over baking croissants until they are cooked not simply warmed up enough to be puffy.
If I want cookie dough I eat raw cookie dough and I do not appreciate finding huge hunks of raw dough in my cookies.
I was "informed' yesterday that cookies only stay soft if they are half raw. LMAO I tested and baked and rewrote my recipe until I have perfectly soft, light golden, completely cooked cookies
