Amaretti Italian cookies.

Kifli. There are a lot of variations of the cookie, which originated in either Hungary, Yugoslavia or Poland.

They are crescent shaped, almond filled pastry type cookies that are finished with a dusting of confectionery sugar.

They're a once a year Christmas time treat for us.

My favorites are my homemade Nestle Toll house chocolate chip or my peanut butter (with chunky peanut butter). If store bought, Oreo thins or vanilla wafers.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies,, then biscoff cookies, yum. Love the homemade ones while they’re still warm and gooey.

Pinwheels for the win!

Snicker doodles or home made peanut butter.

Fig Newtons!

Store-bought? Pepperidge Farm, most varieties. But especially Lido and the different flavors of Milano.

Pan-Bang chocolate chunk cookies using Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate.
The only thing better than chips are premium chunks.

This is the original recipe:

Oatmeal w/raisins and gingersnaps have been my timeless #1
Chocolate chip is always a contender but this new favorite however is #1 Nordstrom's Royal cookie

Mom's molasses cookies with butter cream frosting. Sometimes she'd add raisins to them as well.

Very Crispy, (Burnt Bottom) home made chocolate chip.

When I was working in SW Michigan I found a Swedish bakery. They had a soft chocolate cookie filled with peanut butter that was fantastic.
I don't like s'mores with graham crackers, but a toasted marshmallow between 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies is really good.

I recall eating those in Germany, they are called Kipferl there

I love them all.
But homemade with chocolate chunks and sea salt.

Nothing better than home-made chocolate chips with walnuts, don't overdo the chocolate chips and not too chewy.

Girl Scout Thin Mints a kinda close second.

Definitely Oatmeal Raisins. Yum
Sugar Cookies second.

I'm willing to catch flak for this, but here goes: I grew up in San Francisco, and on Pier 39 was a chocolate chip cookie factory (Ms Fields now I believe) that had the absolute best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had, still to this day. I compare all other cookies to that one cookie my mom would buy me everytime we went to the piers for clam chowder.

Better than Needless Markups cookies, although they are in the top five. Hell, even my mom's homemade cookies were number 3.

At room temperature with a glass of milk!

Anna's Thins are a regular staple for me:

Anna’s are good, but Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger cookies are wayyyyy better.

Of commercial cookies, I like the dark chocolate Petit Ecolier by LU; Jaffa cakes, with dark chocolate and orange jelly center; and in the past, I loved Archway Date-Filled Oatmeal cookies, but can’t find them any more.

Of homemade, oatmeal raisin are my favorite; Panera makes a fantastic one that is just the right texture.

Oh, forgot one: these are German origin, I think, so hard to find: Florentines dipped in dark chocolate. OMG.
