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 love your Peanut Butter Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies!

Hi!
1, Your cookbook got here yesterday YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2, I made your double chocolate “muffins” last weekend and sent them with my husband to work (after eating *ahem* several), and one of his coworkers liked them so much she asked for the recipe. :-)
3, I need to make those chocolate PB cookies that are your #1 here. I keep putting if off. Why is that? They’re so easy and delicious. Oh I know – because I’d eat all of them. Delectable.
Thanks for ordering my book!! The old-fashioned PB cookies in there are excellent and one friend already made them and said they’re the best pb cookies she’s ever had or made :)
The butterscotch ones are crazy good too! LMK what you try from the book!

The thick and soft chocolate peanut butter cookies appeal to me, I have been cutting out gluten as an experiment lately , noticing I tend to get congested when I eat gluten , first I was collecting recipes for my niece who is gluten free then tried it for myself and noticing I feel better too.These are my favorite flavors chocolate and peanut butter.
My favorite cookie is a chocolate chip lava cookie – sublime! Here is the link for the recipe: https://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/dessert/chocolate-chip-lava-cookies.html
My favorite cookie would be chewy oatmeal raisin cookies like this one: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/oatmeal_raisin_cookies/
My favorite cookie is a chocolate chip lava cookie – sublime!
Your M&M cookies are next on my list!
I love this post!!! My all time cookie favorite is peanut butter cookies. You just can’t beat them with a big glass of (almond, hemp, cashew, cow, coconut) milk:)
I love all kinds of cookies, but if forced to choose I would pick chocolate chip
Who doesn’t love cookies? I think my favorite is the good ole Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies from the recipe right off the chocolate chip bag. It’s what my mom made and it’s what I make now. You can’t go wrong with them!
These cookies look absolutely undeniably amazing, and I am a cookie monster so I know a good cookie when I see one. Didn’t think I’d be inspired by all these recipes but I guess never say never, can’t wait to try these out!
Chocolate chip!
I love maple walnut cookies!
There’s no way I could choose between all of these either…in fact, I would happily eat one of each!
