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.

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.

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 Smile

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. Smile

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.
