We tested 4 grocery store cookies and figured out the only brand worth buying

Here are the four contenders, in all their store-bought glory.

The Chips Ahoy cookies were the only ones that emitted a strong and enticing chocolate chip cookie smell, which was promising.

The Keebler cookies looked almost exactly like the Chips Ahoy. Both were about the same size and had the same crunchy texture.

Entenmann's cookies, on the other hand, were much smaller and softer.

The Pepperidge Farm cookies were the biggest by far. They appeared to have a soft center and slightly browned edges.

Clockwise from the top: Pepperidge Farm, Chips Ahoy, Keebler, and Entenmann's.

The Chips Ahoy cookie tasted just like I remembered from growing up: crunchy, chocolatey, and satisfying.

The Keebler cookie was just as crunchy and chocolatey, but had a strange, slightly grainy aftertaste.

The Entenmann's cookie was soft, chewy, and had just the right amount of chocolate chips.

I had high hopes for the Pepperidge Farm cookie, mostly because I love under-baked cookies and these are described on the packaging as "soft baked."

Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The cookie had an odd flavor, and while it was soft, it also tasted stale instead of doughy and chewy.

In my opinion, Entenmann's makes the best grocery store chocolate chip cookie out there. Plus, they're so small that you can have a bunch and not feel too bad.

Chips Ahoy is a close second. These cookies embody childhood, and if you like crispy instead of chewy, this is your brand.

Keebler comes in third thanks to the strange grainy-ness I tasted in their cookies.

Last place goes to Pepperidge Farm — I don't think they know what "soft baking" means.
