Manufactured: Steenstra's St. Claus

Homemade: Scottish 123 Shortbread

Byrd Cookie Company Sotch Oatmeal are worth a mention.

The Lemon Oreos kept cold in the fridge are pretty damn good in the hot summer months.

Oatmeal Raisin

Mom's homemade peanut butter cookies

Walkers Shortbread.

Oatmeal Raisin NFN

Gingerbread (snaps) but I seem to be the only one who really likes ‘em, so I get my wife’s oatmeal raisin (pretty good, really) and chocolate chip. I finally got my wife to quit buying milk chocolate chips for her cookies and put in semi-sweet—so much better.

Quite a few of the cookies on the first page I had never heard of.

I love shortbread cookies. I am somewhat of a connoisseur of shortbread. Walkers is an acceptable cookie, but nothing beats homemade. I found a recipe for the best shortbread cookies I have ever had when I was cooking first my friend at a special event at his restaurant. These are the pinnacle.

Salted Rosemary Shortbread Cookies.

Recipe is posted below. The adaptations I have made to that recipe and it makes a world of difference, is using Kerrygold Butter, and about a full tablespoon of rosemary. I also don’t flip the cookies, I just turn the pan around halfway through, and I cut them at random, between 1/2” and 5/8”.

We don't eat cookies often, and my wife no longer makes them. But every once in a while, we'll buy Cowboy Oat cookies from Central Market in their bakery section, made with oats, chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut flakes. Decadent and tasty.

Thank you!

There's a Dutch bakery near me and he sells Speculas.
Its a love hate relationship. I can eat the whole damn box.

I rarely eat cookies anymore, and my wife even more rarely bakes them.

My three favorites are all Dutch cookies, though:

• Stroopwafles
• Gevulde Koeken
• Speculaas

Of course that could partly be because those are my wife's favorites and, since I like them, too, that's what she buys when she buys cookies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For those who like stroopwafles and and speculaas: You don't know what you're missing if you haven't tried gevulde koeken

Easy:
1) My mothers Christmas cookies (Sugar cookies)
2) My [dearly departed] Aunt(s) and Grandmother's Italian Pitzel
3) My mothers chocolate chip
4) Most cookies from any legit, family owned Philly or South Jersey bakery


honorable mention:
- Girl Scout: Thin mint (kept in the freezer)
- Golden Oreos

Number one would be my Mom's Pineapple Cookies. I don't Know kind of Majic she did to those things but. no one can duplicate Her's even with the recipe right in front of them.
but i do like Otis Spunkmeyer's White chocolate, Macadamia nut.

I'm pretty jealous of some of the cookies mentioned. Pepperidge Farm has an Ojai Lemon Sugar Cookie that's very tasty.

I get a 24 pack of Costco daily made cookies,
A combination of chocolate chip, Macadamia and oatmeal raisin.

Freeze them two to a package .

Nearly anything homemade, as long as you DON'T PUT ANY GODDAMN FRUIT IN MY COOKIE.

Manufactured? Probably Thin Mints.

Homemade: Toll House with butter and pecans made by my daughter or wife. Store bought made in a factory, Petite Ecoliers (chocolate coated shortbread) and Palmier that I think they still sell at Costco.

My favorite is my mom's recipe for molasses crinkle cookies. On a side note I made cream puffs yesterday.

I need to add a local bakery's cowboy cookie. Has almost everything except the proverbial kitchen sink. Just thinking about them adds a couple of pounds to my waistline.
Sadly, they closed.

It's been almost 2 weeks since I made oatmeal raison cookies so I just made a batch. I had mentioned I use 1/2 the amount of sugar the recipe calls for but still that's 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup granular sugar, plus 1 1/2 cups of raisons, in 27 cookies.
I've been having 1 or 2 in the morning with coffee instead of toast, and one with my afternoon or evening tea.
