I’ve never understood the appeal of dipping a cookie in milk because it doesn’t add taste or anything and it’s definitely not as good when it’s soggy. It’s also just a waste of time to dip the cookie in the milk and soak it and not just eat the cookie

Cookies are infinitely better when soggy. Sandwiches too.
Personally I like eating a warm cookie and washing it down with cold milk. The combo is unmatched. Most people I know who are dipping are usually British bc they have those tough crackers that soften nicely in warm tea
100% disagree. It won’t always work with all cookies (like if they’re crumbly and will just fall apart), however, it will optimize the experience with good but dried out cookie.
Makes em soggy for people with dentally challenged mouths though …
Some cookies are better not dipped in milk. But some need it or they rip up your mouth. Sometimes it’s nice to cool off a warm cookie in cold milk. This is a subjective topic imho.
I agree. So I take massive bites of my cookies and a mouthful of milk and do the mixing in-house.
Does it make me feel like a psycho? Sure. Can anyone stop me? Not even Batman with prep time
That’s ok. You can be wrong. It happens.
If I were on death row my last meal would be 5 packages of Oreos and a half gallon of oat milk.
Buy some TimTams. Bite a tiny corner off. Dip it in coffee and shove it into your mouth asap.
Wash, rinse, repeat until you want to pass out.
I rrally do like the temperature/texture contrast but I hate cookie crumbs in the milk, so I take a bite of cookie and then sip a little milk with the cookie still in my mouth.
I actually rather enjoy them that way.
It 100% changes the taste, it tastes like milk and cookie. if you can’t tell the difference then I think your taster is broken.
Here when this post is only at 12 upvotes. This is a banger.
Bro, I will drown my oreos in my milk. I wait for the cookie to all crumble off and then eat the cream. Once I have a suitable about of oreo mush in my milk, I suck that shit down.
Something in your soul is broken.
Depends on the cookie.
But if it’s soggy, you’re dunking it too long
I dip my cookies in water 😩
But you forget the added bonus of a gross, chunky glass of milk full of crumbs
Same. When I used to read thekitchn I read an article where it said dipping a chocolate chip cookie increased the flavonoids, so I tried again with both a warm cookie and room temperature. It’s terrible either way. Maybe it would help a stale cookie but that’s not saying much.
Just microwave the cookie instead. It’s so much better.
You said both it doesn’t and it does change the texture, which is it?
Not all cookies are worth being dunked. If it’s soft and chewy you have no business dipping it in milk. You should take a sip after a bite. If it’s a drier cookie, you can probably dip it in and enjoy the new texture as the cookie saturates with milk. Not too long or you’ll it’ll break apart and you’ll lose a chunk of your cookie to the bottom of the glass
Yes, I agree. It is a waste of time because you could use that time to get a degree at University… Of all the topics that could be more interesting you decide to bitch about others dunking their “galletas.” Really?
Begone Satan’s spawn!
Cookie + milk = soggy cookie, wet fingers
Cookie, then milk = good
I think it’s gross I don’t want a wet cookie.
This idiot probably prefers oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip and doesn’t like fresh baked cookies.
I dont like crunchy cookies
Upvoted for possibly the most unpopular opinion ever.
Totally disagree. Soaking Oreos in milk just as they start falling apart is the absolute best!
Finding know dude. Sucking the milk out of the cookie feels pretty damn nice…
I also find it pointless. I just bake or buy softer cookies
That’s an unpopular opinion if I’ve ever read one
I’m entirely neutral on this. It’s not for me but I get that some people enjoy it.
But tea is another story. Love dipping into tea. The problem with that is the longer you dip it, the better it tastes – because it gets soft and warm etc. – but if it’s too soft, it’ll break and fall into the tea, to the bottom. At that point you have to decide if you want to fish it out (difficult) or just leave it in (annoying).
Hard agree. Bite of Oreo*, then a swig of cold milk, repeat.
*soft-baked chocolate chip or white chocolate macadamia nut cookies work too!
You’re just wrong
Alright Satan, take my upvote
Agree. Dipping is pointless and ruins both the cookie and the milk. Just chase the cookie with milk as God intended.
You’re just wrong. 😑
Take my upvote. I don’t like the opinion.
That is why you crumble the cookies into milk and eat with spoon
Milk transforms a Peperidge Farms Sausalito from being a dusty inhalation hazard into a damn fine treat.
I don’t dip but I like eating cookies while drinking water better than drinking milk with them.
If I’m eating Oreos I put a cookie in my mouth and take a big swing of cold water and let it soften up the cookie in my mouth before I chew and swallow.
Doing the same thing with milk would change the flavor too much, plus water adds no extra fat/sugar/calories.
Objectively, it does enchance the flavour though.
-Milk contains fat and water, which act as solvents for both hydrophilic (sugars, salt etc.) and hydrophobic (fats, oils etc.) compounds.
-Starch softening, cookies have starch that retrogrades (re-crystallizes) as they cool, making them loose flavour over time. Dipping them in milk reverses that process.
*Maillard products formed during baking are fat-soluble too and enhanced when dissolved in milk’s fat.
Subjectively, Lactose + Sugar + Salt + Fats is simply a great combo that complements each other.
Depends on the cookie. Homemade, thick chocolate chip cookies in milk will get you sprung. Store bought sugar circles may just become wet.
You don’t dunk it until it’s soggy
I vehemently disagree with you, take my upvote.
Oreos
if your cookie is soggy, you’re doing it wrong
In other words – “I don’t like milk”, which is perfectly normal and not unpopular?
Your opinion sucks, take my upvote.
I don’t like milk,so there’s that!
Finally an unpopular opinion. IMO it makes both better
Try chocolate chip. Its literally chocolate milk. This post, while an unpopular personal position, is a stretch
First not unpopular opinion, but flat out wrong opinion.
Wrong. I milk infused Oreo is vastly superior to a dry milkless freak of an Oreo. It takes skill but you need to eat it after the saturation phase but just before the falling apart phase.
Heresy of the highest order!
You ,sir are foul human being
Someone’s never bitten both ends off of a Tim Tam and drank milk through it like a straw and it shows.
It definitely changes the taste and it definitely changes the texture. Whether or not you consider either or both of those an enhancement is a matter of personal taste.
Upvote for being wrong
When you have to eat, in my case, gluten free cookies you NEED to dip the cookies because they are dryer than the Sahara.
Fuck that, I’ve personally measure this the via scientific method and found Oreos to be 347% more enjoyable dunked in milk for 5.5 seconds.
Take my angry upvote
It’s okay to be wrong.
Tell that to santa.
Coffee and chocolate chip cookies hits harder then donuts.
It’s just a delivery method for milk
It’s way better soggy. That’s where you messed up.
This is a good unpopular opinion. Because you’re insanely wrong about this lol
A waste of time? What, two seconds? Lmao okay buddy
>Doesn’t add taste
Idk what kinda milk you’re buying but it’s supposed to taste like something, like milk to be exact.
Dip it in tea instead
You seem fun.😑
I don’t like milk, so..
The only way you could believe this is if you’ve never done it. Otherwise, your taste buds are broken.
You’re doing it wrong
Yup

Soggy is a PROBLEM for me
While Humans are ALLOWED to have dairy products, adult humans are NOT REQUIRED to have dairy products, but are ALLOWED dairy products so long as they do NOT forcing dairy products upon other people
Excellent quality freshly baked cookies that are still warm can/should be eaten As Is
But even those other overall good quality homemade and store bought of cookies are still better when they are NOT soggy
Soggy cookies, soggy cereal, soggy bread, are : Horrendous 🫣🤢🤮🤢🫣🫣🫣🤮🤢🤮🤢😡😢😢🫣🫣🫣🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮☠️🤮🤢🫣🫣😢😢🫣😢🫣😡😢🫣😢🫣😢🫣🫣
I stand with you OP.
Fresh baked cookies you have milk for sipping after. Store bought are like powder, so the milk really softens them with a dip.
Booooooooooooo!!
Here in the UK, a civilised country, we dip our biscuits in hot tea
I really feel sorry for you mate.
Im with you.
OK, that’s it. You shall be banished to some deserted island.

I agree, I’ve never gotten the hype. You just end up with a soggy cookie and cookie particles in your milk. Though the waste of time comment is unnecessary, I don’t know what kind of milk ritual you do but it takes me quite literally less than 20 seconds to pour a glass of milk and dip a cookie in it.
These are fighting words. Warm chocolate chip cookies further softened with milk are unrivaled in yumminess.
A quick dip of a Nutter Butter in milk is divine. Same goes for dipping in hot chocolate, or coffee.
You are absolutely correct, and it’s gross.
For me it’s always been:
Cookies & sipping milk > just cookies > cookies dipped in milk
I will say the amount of milk absorbed makes a difference, but there’s no real way to control that so I just sip instead of dip
I am with you on this one. I never saw the appeal of it. I don’t like a soggy, milky cookie.
I feel like this is a willful distortion of the concept of ‘milk and cookies.’ I’m positive the vast majority of people who enjoy cookies and milk don’t “soak” the cookies until they are “soggy.” For anyone to use that methodology as the basis for a negative opinion feels disingenuous.
What’s with you people not liking soggy food? Grow up.
I love how many people think this sub is “wrong opinions” 😂
