Mine would have to be Snickerdoodles or pecan puffs AKA Mexican wedding cookies.I don't want to start a riot or anything but chocolate is not a favorite.My husband and sons are crazy for it so I do a lot of baking with chocolate.

I like anything with oatmeal. I have a chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe that is very good. One can add chocolate chips for a more chocolate fix. That said, it is hard to beat the original Toll House cookie

Where to start....
I don't think I could pick just one cookie as a favorite. And like the post that asked for my favorite chocolate dessert I don't think I have found it ....yet. I will keep searching until I find the one that would be a favorite but until then I will continue to test, taste and search for the best cookie, cake, pastry, chocolate candy or what have you.
Seriously it depends on my mood as to what I "crave" at the time. I particularly like bar cookies for the ease of clean up and the one pan baking. But most cookies can be made in this fashion.
I just made a batch of Oatmeal Carmalita bars for a retirement party.
I love "my" Sticky Ginger Squares, a recipe I found at http://www.kingarthurflour.com
Anything made with peanut butter and chocolate is an absolute winner in my book.
So I continue to search for the Absolute Favorite.....whatever.

Barbara I count bar "cookies" as a cookie. I have seen many a cookie recipe also give a bake time for baking in a 13X9 pan and cutting the result in bars as well so I will continue to count bars as cookies.
I think as long as it is not a cake or a pastry it could count as a cookie how is that for "all inclusive"?
Will be interesting to find out what others think.
Is a "Bar" considered a "Cookie"?
Ok Ann, how do you start a poll?
