Another vote for Matt’s choc chip cookies, they are incredible. If you zap em for a couple seconds they get even better if such a thing could be possible.

There are some really good frosted sugar cookies at the grocery stores around here. Don’t know what they’re called, but they’re the only non-chocolate cookie that I really love.

Other than that the double chocolate Milanos and of course Oreos. Og bless whoever discovered chocolate! 😃

All hail Berger’s cookies, the best cookies in the world! Apparently, they were created in Baltimore but you could probably could get them shipped to you. That is, if you loved them as much as I do. 🙂

Also Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies (you buy the dough). The best part is they come in certain packs where they’re already rolled up and ready to be put in the oven. Laziness at its best!

Fudge covered Oreos.  
Lemon Coolers (can’t find these anymore)

SO where can we find these Matt’s ambrosia? Now I have to have these.

My personal favourites are double chocolate Milanos. I did have some Chocolate Chip Sandies recently, which were good.

I would kill for some Lemon Coolers. They are my favorite cookies.  
I also love Orange Milanos.

Tim Tams are also very good. My sister sent me some from Australia for Christmas. 😃

I’ve always loved **Shortbread Creams**. Also **Iced Vovos** , which are a biscuit with icing, jam and coconut.

I posted [this link](http://www.mattscookies.com/) in the second post of this thread.

Matt’s are made in Illinois, and I’ve seen them here in Chicago and downstate as well. If you live somewhere lese, you can visit the website, and they will ship them around the world.

They are hands down better than any cookie I have ever had.

Around here, those are called Lofthouse Cookies

I call 'em crack! 😃

You convinced me. I just ordered a sample of all of the different Matt’s Cookies so they’d better be good! 😃

[Joseph’s Sugar Free Cookies](http://josephscookies.com/). Not that there’s much serious competition in that category.

As for sugared cookies, you name 'em, I ate 'em. Once.

Ooooh yeas, those Lofthouse cookies are the best! They’re so soft and melt-in-your-mouth good. My dad hates frosting and anything that’s very sugary, but he loves Lofthouse cookies.

Bonus: The christmas ones are on sale at Wal-Mart here for $1.50 a box! Usually they are 2 for $5.

PiM’s-“soft biscuits with orange filling” (or orchard pear or chocolatier or scrumptious raspberry)- from Belgium. bought at World Market. Paid $3.29 for a 5.29 (150 g) package of 12. Round, 2" across, cookie on the bottom, soft flavored filling on that, topped with a coating of Belgian chocolate imprinted with “PiM’s”. Eating one, er, two, er, three, right now.

Sam’s Club oatmeal & raison cookies with walnut chips: I cannot live without them and Marcie is intent on making me do just that—something about cholesterol, I think.
