The one that logs me into the SDMB. 🙂 Or Blondie and Dagwood’s daughter. Not what you meant? Oh. In that case, I’m partial to Pepperidge Farms Nantucket cookies. ---

You’re both picking such high-class cookies, I’m feeling a little white trash right now. By far, my favorite is Oreo Double Stuf. Can’t get enough of that greasy, shortening filling. Mmmm. [homer]Mmmm…Oreos…mmmm…Double Stuf[/homer] ---

It’s a toss-up (so to speak) 😃 Either **Oatmeal Raisin** (the really soft chewy ones they give us at the blood bank after being strapped down for two hours) or **Savannahs** (the peanut butter cookies the Girl Scouts sell that go great with cold milk and will not stay in the freezer no matter how much duct tape I use on the door). ---

I have a weakness for white chocolate macadamia cookies. A close second are Samoas (the Girl Scout cookie). Just when I’m working out, trying to lose a few pounds from the holidays, the wife goes and buys from the Girl Scout cookie pusher in her office: 1. A box of White Chocolate Macadamia 2. A box of Samoas 3. Hi Opal! (wimper) How am I supposed to resist that? I’m just a man. ---

My homemade, oatmeal-pecan-chocolate chip-raisin cookies. We call 'em “the Works”. Store-bought would be Chips Ahoy. ---

For the Home Made kind it has to be Chocolate Chip (Toll House) cookies (I swear darling, there were right there on the plate a minute ago!). For store bought I agree with Scout1222, it has got to be Oreo’s, any kind. I especially liked the green “Grinch” ones that they had out, and the Christmas Colored ones. ---

Tim Tams Tim Tams Tim Tams Tim Tams I especially like the dark chocolate ones. Of course, I can’t get them here in the states, so my favorite cookie I can get on a regular basis would be Pepperidge Farms (plain) Milano or Chips Ahoy with lots and lots of cold milk. MMMM, now I want a cookie! (of course a co-worker is being sent to our Australian office soon, and has promised to bring me back a whole bunch of Tim Tams!) ---

Mmm…so many yummy cookies, so little time… I would have to go with almond macaroons. I am a bitter almond and marzipan freak. Good merengues with whipped cream are delicious, too. As are homemade chocolate-chip cookies (or anything with good chocolate, for that matter) and double-stuff Oreos. (I think I still have a thing for Oreos because I wasn’t allowed to have them as a kid. They had non-kosher ingredients. (Now they use partially hydrogenated veggie oils, and I think they even have the Union of Orthodox Rabbi’s seal of approval. Kids don’t know how easy they have it nowadays…)We had to content ourselves with those second-rate Hydrox cookie things. Those of you who grew up in kosher–or kinda, sorta kosher–households know what I’m talking about.) If we construe the term “cookie” loosely, I would have to say that a really good cannoli rivals the almond macaroons. I miss being able to have a good cannoli and an espresso with sambuca. (There are _no_ good cannolis where I live, and no-one here has even _heard_ of drinking espresso with sambuca. Sometimes I really, really miss the food of my native New Jersey. _sigh_) Oh, yeah–I almost forgot. A bakery near me makes the richest, most delicious chocolate sugar cookie things I’ve ever had. And my mom and I once made some sugar cookies from a Shaker recipe that were absolutely heavenly. –Scribble ---

Pepperidge Farms Chessmen (w/ hot tea) (hijack) Ever notice that the vanilla wafers, the kind that tradionally go into bannana pudding, look like Ernie’s (of Burt and Ernie fame) skin? Sorry.(/hijack) ---

All of them. Or at least what ever is closest. My favorite bakery cookie are Mrs. Field’s Snickerdoodles (sugar and cinnamon). My favorite store-boughts are HobNobs Plain Chocolate. My favorite home-mades are the Jam Tarts from the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook or the Hazelnut and Poppy Seed slices from the Sunset Cookie Book. ---

Gotta go with the **Owl** and the pussy **Cat** on this one. White chocolate Macadamia nut coogies, hot out of the oven from Mrs. Fields ought to be illegal.
