gooiest

Maximally soft, sticky

Gooiest is the superlative of gooey—the most soft, sticky, and viscous.

It describes the extreme of that pleasantly messy texture: the gooiest cinnamon roll, the gooiest chocolate chip cookies.

The word almost always appears in food contexts, suggesting indulgent richness.
