Favourite Cookies
I was munching on one of my favourite cookies at lunch (shortbread) and decided to find out what kinds people like (also boosting my post totals )
OK, my favourites are:
- shortbread
- Oreo (regular or doule-stuffed)

Nothing better in the world than a good, homemade chocolate chip cookie. That being said, I also love the peanut butter cookies with the Kiss on top.

I'm not very picky, when it comes to cookies. I only require that they are hot, chewy, fresh out of the oven, and anything within them are gooey and chocolately. Or peanutbuttery. Or even toffery, if such is possible. God, I love toffee. I wish my fingers were made of toffee. Would stop typing righ--

Cookie dough of any variety
Macaroons
White chocolate macadamia nut
Samoans (though I think the girlscouts changed the name)
Mint milanos
Mint oreos or the reverse oreos (or any oreos, really, so long as they're served in a bowl of milk)
Soft oatmeal cookies w/out raisins
And those no bake chocolate drop cookies
Ok, so there's only a few cookies I don't like. Hard, dry peanutbutter cookies, anything with raisins (though raisins are fine by themselves), and snickerdoodles.

How dare you talk about cookies when I am trying to lose weight? 
Mmm...My favorites are oatmeal raisin and peanut butter.
I also like shortbread, ginger snaps, and cream filled sandwich cookies. And Stella D'Oro Anisette toast.

Chocolate Chip is the best!
NO NUTS THOUGH!
For God's sake who thought putting nuts in there was a good idea?
Toll House puts out these premade cookie dough thingys.
They're good.
From scratch though, I picked up a few tips by trial and error.
(Isn't it amazing how every little thing can change how a cookie comes out? Heat variations, gas or electric stove, brand of ingrediants, what rack to use, what type of pan.......)
I make Toll House all the time.
They come out like hockey pucks (tasty hockey pucks though!)
The other day I totally melted the butter rather than softening it.
TOTALLY DIFFERENT COOKIE!!!!
It was flat and crisp yet also chewy.

Milanos: mint or vanilla.
Oreos: traditional, double stuff, or mint.
In the unlikely event I actually get around to baking:
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 cup brown sugar.
Beat in 2 eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla.
Mix in 1 1/4 cups sifted flour, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
Then add in your choice of approximately 1/2 cup of 'chips, caramel for preference, though chocolate or white chocolate or a mix are all quite acceptable.
1/2 cup of nuts is also optional.
Drop well-spaced onto a greased cookie sheet. (I personally prefer parchment paper.)
Bake until golden brown. (About 10 minutes.)
