I believe Subway’s cookies are Otis Spunkmeyer. They make dough already shaped and ready to bake. The cookies are wonderful. The place I used to work used those and that explains the 20 pounds I gained at that job. Oh, and chocolate chip cookies are the ones I’d take for the rest of my life, but I would pine for oreos. ---

I like to make chocolate chip cookies that have lots of extra stuff in it like oatmeal and peanut butter. Maybe walnuts. If I only get one kind for the rest of my life I may have to test adding molasses, ginger and/or toasted coconut and see what works. I’ve never done caramel but it is definitely on the list. ---

They’re ground into a spreadable paste (I presume not shaped either, because that sounds pointless). A little cloying and not sure what I’d do with it, but some people love it. ---

As mentioned earlier, Subway and McDonald’s chocolate chip cookies are pretty good. The frozen Nestle Tollhouse cookies (bake them yourself) are good too, the Hershey ones not quite so much. It’s been awhile since I’ve had the chance to try a Mrs. Fields cookie from a store, but I remember them as being too large and to raw in the middle. Anyway… yes chocolate chip cookies. Forget what I said above - the best ones are the ones you make from the back of the Nestle bag. ---

This was my first runner-up in case the butter pecan turtle cookie could not fulfill its duties. I went with the BPTC for sentimental reasons. ---
