For the purposes of this thread, we’re talking about pre-baked, store-bought cookies in an air-tight container. No Toll House recipes or raw dough allowed.
Costco makes a really great cookie. Microwaving them and they taste like home made cookies! But it doesn’t have a specific name/brand. So…I’d have to go with Tate.
Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. They are pricy but I’ll treat myself to a box once or twice a year. They’re like giant Oreos without the filling and a bit less sweet.
If we’re talking specific brands, then Girl Scout Thin Mints, followed by the Milano ones that have the thin layer of chocolate between the crispy vanilla disks.
I also love a good pizzelle, though I’m not sure of any specific brands for those.
First -Carr’s Ginger Lemon Cremes
Second - Keebler Pecan Sandies*
Third - WalMart’s store brand fudge sandwich cookies. They’re called “twist 'ems” or something close. Don’t judge me.
Pepperidge Farms Chessmen or Danish butter cookies, as noted above! And Pecan Sandies have expanded their line, now there are Cashew Sandies and Chocolate Chunk Sandies.
I like all Pepperidge Farms cookies, but I don’t buy them for myself very often as I’ll mindlessly eat them just because they’re there, on the kitchen counter.
Year-round: Keebler Pecan Sandies, and Key Lime Coolers from Byrd Cookie Co. But I miss Lemon Thins (Nabisco) and Sunshine Lemon Coolers. (Haven’t yet tracked down the new version of Coolers, but I intend to. Maybe to round out Mom’s Christmas stocking.)
In season: those caramel, coconut, and chocolate Girl Scout cookies. Samoas?
