Cookie Wars (yes its plagiarized)

My wife makes oatmeal cookies using the recipe on inside lid of Quaker Oats container…..don’t know how healthy but seems like low sugar…..I eat them in a reckless fashion…at least 12 a day. They don’t seem to have any deleterious effects…seems to improve digestion and blood pressure. Been doing this for years.
 
I love the traditional oatmeal/raisin cookie, but there is something to say for peanut butter/mini-m&m's (y)

I like oatmeal raisin- but not when I was expecting chocolate chip, Want fruit in a cookie? Fig Newtons! Awesome, but I have never seen or tasted home made. I may have to try making my own.
 
I am another one for the peanut butter with fork crosses on the top. I’m not supposed to have things like that in my diet, but I will occasionally whip up a batch. Especially during the holiday season. My wife used to make really good oatmeal cookies using the recipe on the carton with a few special touches.
 
I've got a sweet tooth, so virtually any cookie is OK with me, but I'd have to pick home-made chocolate chip as my favorite, with either pecans of walnuts added.

For the ultimate cookie experience, take either a chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie (preferably without raisins, but hey, you do you), put it in the toaster oven under toast until it just starts to brown, then spread a generous dollop of peanut butter on it and eat it while warm.
 
Second class cookie. Top of the chart, Peanut Butter!
With the "crossed fork" pattern (y)
Tomorrow would have been my 38th anniversary with my 1st wife. She was an incredible baker and made the best peanut butter cookies in the world complete with the pressed fork design on the top.
I've never had another peanut butter cookie that could rival hers. My current wife is an excellent cook and baker and makes many great things but nothing is quite like my 1st wife's peanut butter cookies
 
pretty much anything they make are my favorite :)

I'm like a lot of folks, haven't run into a cookie I didn't like yet. Might Fig Newtons have been the original fruit bar? For oatmeal cookie folks, oatmeal with butterscotch chips (Oatmeal Scotchies), you get the healthful oatmeal and satisfies the sweet tooth at the same time :D
 
Oatmeal raisin always gets a bad rap. It’s got oatmeal, which is basically health food, and raisins are fruit, so that’s gotta count for something. It’s the responsible cookie… even if it still tastes like a cookie.
 
Grandma made a sugar cookie that was as light and crisp as could be, that is the best cookie to ever grace a cookie jar.

After those I am pretty equal opportunity so long as they are crispy. Don’t be pawning off your brownies as cookies around here church lady.
 
My grandma used to make molasses cookies with sprinkled sugar and a raisin on top. One of my favorite cookies is a pineapple sugar cookie. I know these are not homemade but I like the maple leaf creme cookies from ALDI
