CTH- Menagerie:
From an article at Yummly. I’m going with Kentucky on this one. Runners up are Louisiana, Florida, Minnesota, and New Jersey, the state that came closest to knocking Kentucky out of my favorite position.
I am verklempt at Tennessee not having a Jack Daniel’s cookie. I’ll console myself with Gentleman Jack and a slice of Jack Daniel’s cake.
And really, Nebraska and Alaska, sad. You guys need some help.
SNIP: They all seem OK. Except for one. Georgia’s Red Velvet Cookie.
I’ve tried Red Velvet in every form of dessert and they all taste like dirt covered beets to me. lol
Of those listed, coconut macaroons are my favorite. Moon Pies suck.
Oreo cheesecake cookies – – now there are two reasons to move to South Dakota.
Raquel Welch….maybe Sophia Loren…Ginger fer sure….
Ask President Oreo Hussein what he eats for a treat at Christmas…
My favorite cookie is Mrs. Uncle’s best-in-the-world homemade shortbread dripped in Drambuie. In the absence of that shortbread, an otherwise ordinary sugar cookie works especially well.
I don’t care to drink Drambuie, but it is a wonderful dessert enhancer. Try a shot poured over vanilla ice cream and you’ll see what I mean!
Side note: Some time within the past month or so somebody here said that Walmart’s knockoff of Oreo cookies were just as good as Oreos. Wrong. They’re BETTER than Oreos. Thank you!
Oh, yeah, and the Walmart knockoffs are less than half the price.
Best cookies are homemade from scratch chocolate chip cookies, fresh from the oven. Anything store bought is full of preservatives.
Snickerdoodles and Oatmeal-raisin cookies.
I’m gonna try that Drambuie trick Uncle Al!
My favorite cookie is the one that is in my hand enroute to my mouth to be consumed.
The small round powdered ones with the crushed nuts…
My favorite cookie is a soft peanut butter cookie, followed by a soft peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips added, then it’s soft chocolate chip cookies, all homemade of course.
I could live on peanut butter cookies though, it’s why I don’t make them very often.
What Is Your Favorite Cookie?
Probably the ones we used to pull in the parking lot.
ghost those are great.
They’re called ‘snowballs’ but there are other names for them.
In Greek they’re called Kourabiedes (those have no nuts)
About 30 years ago a friend and I went bird hunting and he brought his new wife’s grandmothers 1870’s Iowa recipe oatmeal and raisin cookies….FANTASTIC!…apaenrtly there is like 4 pounds of butter for a dozen cookies. We complimented her and ranted and raved about how good they were….never saw or tasted one ever again…..compare that to my Dad saying he didn’t like my Mom’s meatloaf and we got served that shit once a week for eternity….I JUST DO NOT KNOW!!!….
Me? I’m a gingersnap man – the thinner, the better.
Gingerbread, made with molasses
lebkuchen with or without chocolate
gingerbread
mole asses
gingersnaps
any cookie with lemon
About those cookies from NC – bull! Never saw those in NC at all and cannot imagine a Southerner eating that mess
I had a manager who worked for me in Kentucky, but was from Ohio. Her bourbon balls had what seemed like a shot of bourbon in each one. People lurked around the office when they thought she was bringing them in. Growing up in Michigan, iced sugar cookies are still my favorite Christmas cookie.
@Dapper Dan Moravian Gingersnaps. https://www.bigoven.com/recipe/moravian-ginger-cookies-old-salem/113352

Oatmeal raisin w/ some finely chopped walnuts added to the mix first, ginger snaps next
I’ll take the gun , leave the cannoli.
@MJA – Will have to hit up a Greek bakery now!
Until then? How bout dark chocolate covered graham stars…used to eat them with the little sprinkles but now those suckers get caught in my teeth! Stouffers a great old Penn Dutch company.
You can get them by the BOX here:

My oatmeal raisin with walnuts and coconut soft and moist!
Chocolate chip peanut butter oatmeal and grandma’s snicker doodles right out of the oven.
Mom made chocolate chip cookies with brown sugar and a bit of molasses. Yummy.
Buckeyes, Bourbon balls or Pecan Pralines.
I like any cookie that can give me a buzz, or throw my blood sugar levels into the upper stratosphere.
Mine? Anything my late mother used to bake. Miss her.
Technically not a cookie, but I also love Banket.
Oh! Grandma’s date but pinwheel cookies..or her orange twists.
Now I need to go stroll down memory lane.
*but=nut!
Where the hell is that edit button!
Really tired of tech overlords changing what I say.
Dirt covered beets? Hey, who gave away the secret recipe??!?
Homemade snickerdoodles, ginger snaps with lots of ginger and molasses and soft peanut butter cookies are the best.
Butt nut cookies must be for when you’re feeling gay.
Any cookie with a glass of milk
And like when I was on Worm Island at the San Diego Navy Basic training facility (boot camp) in 1972 when we were standing in line waiting for chow as close as you could possibly get to the guy in front of me with the Drill Instructors yelling at us “Nut to butt, nut to butt, make the guy in front of you smile.” I don’t think that they can get away with that now.
Shortbread, made with real butter.
@MJA That is the perfect description of red velvet cake. I’ve tried it many times and it’s bitter and gross. Not a fan!
Red Velvet Cake is a basic chocolate cake made with cocoa red food color.
frosted lebkuchen and also anise-flavored springerle are good German Xmas cookies, but I can only eat a few of the later
@Willy
How come your friend brought a cookie recipe along when you and he went hunting?
Uh….I read it again…now I get it…You and he went hunting for cookies…OK it makes sense now…he wanted to match his wife’s grandmother’s cookie recipe with store made cookies. That’s what you guys were hunting for.
I smacked myself up the side of the head when I understood what you meant.
TimBuktu…..Aw, c’mon, not you too?….What do ducks eat?…..
ghost – I’ve never seen those! Neat!
Something made with flour and sugar.
Didn’t read the piece. I’ll have homemade peanut butter or oatmeal cookies, please. Simple taste… in cookies anyway. As to women, my wife is extraordinarily complex, although also apparently homemade.
I don’t really give a tinker’s cuss about cookies.
But Lorna Doone’s were good stuff.
Trader Joes Pfeffernusse for store bought. But those almond or pecan snowballs or crescent shaped covered with powder sugar for homemade. All time fav homemade is choco walnut. WishI could still bake.
Mom used to bake hundredss of coookies before Christmas. My all time bestest Festus cookie then was cream cheese almond flavor Christmas wreaths – a pressed cookie with 4 tiny slices of marchino cherry for a bow decoration.
Any cookie in which John Roberts and William Barr are killed in a very slow, painful way during the making of the cookie.
Neighbor two doors down will show up with a big assortment box that will be uniformly delicious in a day or two. My aunt baked cookies three times a week into her 90s and absolutely outstanding. Oatmeal, homemade chocolate chip, and peanut butter are the home made that come to mind and if store bought Nutter Butter or Oreo unless Gross Out has Pepperidge Farm. 98% of my groceries come from Costco and Gross Out. Trader Joe’s has a few items I like though and go there about twice a year.
Gross Out is Grocery Outlet, they kick ass. My first time in one I was in Ellensburg for Rodeo and fair week and ran into a friend at the gas station. I told him I’m going to Safeway, let’s talk while I pick up some groceries. He took me to Gross Out instead and now we are lucky enough to have one a mile from home.
Little surprised that fruitcake cookies weren’t the favorite in California…
When God is pleased with me, I get a warm peanut butter cookie. Someone once offered me an oatmeal raisin cookie but I politely declined because I didn’t do anything wrong recently.
Wambam’s chocolate chip & walnut cookies – I will break your fingers one by one if you even LOOK like your going for my stash.
@Willy
No hostility meant. Just a comment on how easy it is to miss a meaning.
