1. No Oreos?

[Equinox Moon]

3. Oh! You are right

No, I didn't even think of commercial brand ones. But, your preference is noted.

[PoliticAverse]

2. M&M cookies not a choice?...

[Equinox Moon]

4. Those are good too

Your preference is noted.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. The chocolate chip cookies have to be from the Toll House recipe

and they have to have walnuts.

Damn, now I want warm Toll House cookies.

[Equinox Moon]

6. Yep...

[Lunabell]

28. This southern girl makes them with toasted pecans.

So delicious,

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. That sounds good, too. I'll have to try it.

[Lunabell]

45. Spread pecans on a baking sheet

350 degrees preheated oven for 12-13 minutes.Watch close or the may burn. Chop and add to cookie dough. The toasting just adds another layer of flavor.

[yellowdogintexas]

35. Definitely walnuts. nt

[yellowdogintexas]

61. and made with BUTTER nt

[WePurrsevere]

[Equinox Moon]

15. Good one!

[yellowdogintexas]

Not very sweet, date puree.

Sometimes fig when the tree is bearing fruit

[Danmel]

58. Thank you!

They look perfect for Thanksgiving!

[HeiressofBickworth]

17. Goes by several names

Sandies
Russian Tea Cakes
Snowballs
Mexican Wedding cookies

Essentially, powdered sugar, flour, lots of butter, and pecans (I prefer walnuts). Rolled in powdered sugar when they come hot out of the oven.

YUMMMMM

[Equinox Moon]

18. I remember these. I haven't one in years.

I think of them around Christmas time.

[smirkymonkey]

59. Russian Tea Cakes are my favorites!

Always made them at Christmas. I have never heard them called Sandies though.

[Fla Dem]

19. I love a good shortbread cookie.

[3catwoman3]

24. Walker pure butter shortbread...

...from Scotland is the best there is. I’ve tried other brands, and they have all fallen short. I fell in love with Walker’s during my first trip to Edinburgh in 1974, and have been a fan ever since.

[montana_hazeleyes]

29. Oh my. Sooooo good!

[lastlib]

20. I HATE tracking cookies!....

(oh, wait, this isn't a computer poll.....)

[Totally Tunsie]

22. I voted for oatmeal raisin, but I can be easily persuaded to take

a vanilla macadamia nut cookie too!

[jmowreader]

23. The only way to make snickerdoodles is the way I make them

I put a cup of miniature chocolate chips in each batch.

[orleans]

25. so many to choose from

peanut butter, sugar, coconut, snickerdoodle & oatmeal raisin

1 of each!

i couldn't decide so i didn't vote.

[yellowdogintexas]

40. Chocolate Shadows are my daughter's favorites

Basically peanut butter cookie with melted chocolate chips to which you add a bit of peppermint extract.

Marble the chocolate into the peanut butter cookie dough roll in balls and press down with a sugared glass.

Absolutely killer.

[orleans]

57. sounds amazing. i'll be over in ten minutes for a fresh batch

so get busy!

and thanks in advance!!

[fierywoman]

26. My mother's zimtsterne.

[radical noodle]

27. I never met a cookie that I didn't love

but my all time favorite is oatmeal raisin.

[GoneOffShore]

30. Less of a cookie, more of a cake, but madeleines are my favorite

Though not to exclude the others on the list.
Except for snickerdoodles. Abomination.

[yellowdogintexas]

39. My sister doesn't like them either. She likes all the components

just not the cookies

[Algernon Moncrieff]

33. I clear my cookies after each browsing session

It helps keep peace with the missus

[IrishEyes]

34. Oatmeal chocolate chip is my favorite.

I love snickerdoodles as well. Probably because I learned to cook them when I was a kid. They have the best name.

[yellowdogintexas]

36. I like chocolate chips and nuts in my oatmeal cookies.

Or just nuts.
Or Just chocolate chips

just NO raisins.

[IrishEyes]

42. I agree. No raisins.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. My new obsession is Slice and Bake cookies

Home made, not Pillsbury DoughBoy

Mexican Spicy Chocolate cookies
Lemon
Brown Sugar pecan
and others



Make up the dough shape into logs wrap well and freeze them.

When ready to bake, let them thaw for a bit, slice them and bake them.

Those chocolate cookies are awesome.

[Equinox Moon]

48. Oh no... this is dangerous knowledge

I wish you hadn't told me.

[yellowdogintexas]

62. yes, it is too easy to reach in the freezer

and slice off a few and just eat the dough

Damn good dough.

OTOH it is easy to just have a few cookies lying about the house instead of 60 or 75

[NewJeffCT]

43. Chocolate Chip

plus, Oatmeal and Oatmeal Raisin are my favorite. All 3 are reasons I don't like Girl Scout Cookies at all.

[sakabatou]

44. Too many to choose

[Equinox Moon]

46. Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal or Peanut Butter?

Of these three what one?

[sakabatou]

47. Peanut butter

with one of those big chips in the middle.

[Equinox Moon]

49. Like a chocolate star?

Yum!

[sakabatou]

52. No, it's a regular peanut cookie with a Hershey kiss in the middle

[Leith]

50. Tollhouse Recipe Chocolate Chip Are the Best

Honorable mentions:

Thin Mints
Manischewitz (sp?) chocolate macaroons

edited to add: Tim-Tams. They are from Australia. I used to work for an Australian company and if anyone traveled to Sydney or visited from there, we would tell them that we would not let them in the building without a couple packages. They always obliged. Think of a KitKat candy bar in cookie form. You can get them at Target and well worth looking for on your next trip there.

[Equinox Moon]

51. "Honorable mentions"

[TygrBright]

53. Oatmeal, RAISIN NOT OPTIONAL! RAISIN MANDATORY! n/t

55. White chocolate and macadamia

[k8conant]
