Pirate cookies are a brand made by Mr. Christie, consisting of a layer of peanut butter in two thin oatmeal sandwich layers. Surprisingly, they taste quite different from your standard oatmeal and/or peanut butter cookies. Available in Canada, never seen them in the U.S., not available in England. ---

mmmmmmmmm… Trader Joe’s “Sutter’s” Peanut Butter and Choclate Chip… it seems like you can’t eat more than one without exploding. I’d also have to mention Thin Mints, but I truly don’t understand the nature of my addiction to these yet. ---

Thin Mints Mrs. Field’s semisweet chocolate chip Milanos Oreos, but those are far below the others, and only if they are fresh and crunchy. Stale oreos suck! ---

My husband is Australian and in order to satify his Tim Tam fix, we order online from the Australian Catalogue Company. You can get all sorts of different Australian cookies (sorry, biscuits) and candy that aren’t normally sold in the U.S. I think they’re out of Georgia (they used to be in Raleigh when we lived there, so we could go right down to their office and pick stuff up.) Am I allowed to put a link? I don’t in any way profit from this, but if a mod wants to remove it, I understand. [Go here for tim tams.](http://www.aussiecatalog.com) My favorite cookie: the ones you end up with when you follow the recipe for the Nordstrom/Mrs. Field UL - they’re great…Oatmeal/Chocolate Chip/Pecan. In the storebought category, it would have to be Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Pecan or Lorna Doones. ---

Homemade oatmeal/pecan/chocolate chip/coconut. They’re like pemmican bars, but tastier. Also, homemade peanut butter cookies. Storebought - P. Farm Sausalito (choc chip/macadamia) and the choc chip pecan ones. ---

Well, I resisted saying something like “Halle Berry” and just went on… But in case **jr8** comes in here, I guess, well… My favorite biscuits/cookies are things like gingerbread (with cloves!), and ummm… well, that’ll do, I guess. ::wanders off:: ---

Homemade – oatmeal chocolate chip, with extra oatmeal. If you cut down a bit on the butter, they rise a little more and stay chewy longer. Storebought – Those Pepperidge Farm ones… ah, it’s been so long since I’ve had them… they’re oval shaped, covered with dark chocolate on one side, and sprinkled with chopped nuts. Geneva? I remember Brussels – they were my former favourite. The crispy bubbly sandwich-type ones with the chocolate inbetween, right? Chessman – those are the thin crispy buttery ones? And Milanos\* – they’re the oval-shaped sandwich-type ones with chocolate inbetween? SIGH. Digestive biscuits just don’t compare. [sup]\*Also the name of the BEST pizza place in Baltimore, of which I am also deprived.[/sup] ---

/Homer Simpson voice/Hmmm… Girl Scout Samaos. Whenever a friend’s daughter sells them, I order 10 boxes. And I live alone, and I don’t share them. I also love those little sugar covered pretzel-shaped cookies that come in the Danish Butter Cookie round tins. ---

Mrs Fields. Any kind. Right now if I were to find a Mrs Fields shop I would probably eat so many cookies I would explode and they would still be picking little ruadh bits off the walls five years from now. Yes, there are _some_ things I really miss about America… ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-cookie/54305.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-cookie/54305.md?page=3)
