I love cookies and make tons of them. I’m often asked for my favorites and that’s a loaded question.
How can I pick between a tender soft and buttery snickerdoodle, a gooey Snickers-stuffed chocolate chip cookie, or a beloved peanut butter cookie? They’re all so different, but all so good.
I wrote a Favorite Cookies List about 6 months ago, but as I make more cookies and try new recipes, the list changes. As of today, I’d be thrilled to gobble any of the following right off the baking sheet.

There’s always room for more cookie recipes and I’m giving away a copy of Cookies for Kids’ Cancer: All the Good Cookies
About the Book
“In 2007, Gretchen Holt-Witt set the lofty goal of baking and selling 96,000 cookies during the holidays, all in the name of funding research for pediatric cancer, the #1 killer of kids in the United States and the disease her young son was battling. Armed with the determination of a mom on a mission plus the knowledge that funds for research mean more treatment options, better survival rates, and hope for the future, Holt-Witt succeeded in selling all 96,000 cookies and raising over $400,000 for new pediatric cancer treatments.
Soon after, Gretchen and her husband Larry founded Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national nonprofit that inspires people to host bake sales of all sizes, from desktops and porches to entire corporations and communities, with some raising more than $100,000 in a day. Gretchen’s first book, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer Best Bake Sale Cookbook, raised thousands more for pediatric cancer research. All the Good Cookies gathers a mouthwatering collection of recipes that promise to satisfy any cookie craving, with the author’s profits again going to the charity.”

I would love to make your Spiced Carrot Cake cookies! Especially since I have 2 bags of shredded carrots on hand left over from making carrot cake cupcakes. ;)

Okay, so this post is completely unfair – because all I want to do is try one of each of these! They all look soooo good!
One of my fav cookies is my pecan, cranberry, cinnamon chip cookies. They are always a hit, every time I make them!! And I won a Whole Foods pecan recipe contest with them too!

Wow, how to choose a favorite cookie! Chocolate chip, apple caramel,banana drop, that’s just a start!
Now how am I supposed to decide which one I want to make first?!
Or, what cookies would you love to make?
I love making cookies that are incredibly chewy with yummy chunks to them (think oatmeal but with really big chocolate chunks). The cookie MUST be soft and chewy!!
My favourite is oatmeal chocolate chunk
GF Peanut butter chocolate chunk from your blog.
GF peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies from your blog. I am looking forward to baking GF cookies.
GF Peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies – so looking forward to finding gf cookies to bake.
My favorite cookie is the traditional Toll House chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven!
I would love to make the coconut carrot cake and cream cheese cookies from your cookbook–lots of good stuff going on in that recipe!!
Oh man, I always say I love the simple chocolate chip cookies but with a list like that it seems so lame. Love the Twix.
So many favorites! One of them would have to be banana chocolate chip cookies. I’m sure the recipe is on the internet somewhere, but I just got it from a college friend a few years ago.
your flour free peanut butter are ridiculous! I add those tiniest mini trader joes on cups!
I love peanut butter cookies in any way shape or form.
As far as chocolate cookies go, this recipe from Kraft Recipes is my favorite. I’ve experimented by adding cranberries or raspberries, adding the really nice fruit twist to the chocolatey goodness. I haven’t really experimented much outside of traditional chocolate chip, so I’m way excited to have all these recipes. https://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/double-chocolate-chunk-cookies-54597.aspx
