My favorite homemade cookies are my dad’s chocolate chip.

My FAVORITE homemade cookie is my pizza cookie. You basically make a giant (I guess you can make mini pizzas too) circle cookie and bake it. Then you ice it with a VERY thin layer of red icing then freeze it. Then you ice the cookie with plain white frosting. Decorate with candy that look like pizza toppings and you’re done. It’s great for kids (when you don’t have to watch them) and they look great, especially after you slice them into little pizza slices.

My favorite homemade cookie is Lemon Bonbons. They are these tiny lemon cookies you form into balls with a flat bottom and then cover with layer upon layer of glaze. Then pipe decorations on top when dry. Very time consuming but worth it.

My favorite store bought is mint milano cookies.

ONE favorite homemade? Geez – that’s hard. It so depends on the time of the year. Iced lemon for the summer…something spicy or pumpkiny for the fall…biscotti for dipping into hot cocoa (or coffee for a yummy winter breakfast)…and decadent chocolate chip.

Favorite homemade cookie is cornflake/grassroots cookies, cooked or raw.

My favorite storebought cookie is really a three-way tie between Samoas, Uh-oh Oreos, and Kroger brand cranberry oatmeal cookies (the kind you bring home and bake), especially the old recipe. The oatmeal is something you ought to be able to make at home by the hundreds, but I can’t find a recipe that quite makes the cranberry oatmeal right.

My homemade is my grandmothers peanut butter, my favorite store bought would be plain vanilla wafers.

my mom's friend was an awesome baker. she made these wonderful sugar cookies that the taste & texture just melted in your mouth! not to mention were beautiful too. i now own this recipe and use it all the time.

growing up, not once did my mom buy store bought cookie dough and not even store cookies. we always made our own. but now that i am a mom and have children of my own, i'll buy that big tub of tollhouse choc. chip cookie and much on it here and there…i won't even bake them half of the time.

i LOVE to make cookies, i hope i am chosen.

Homemade – oatmeal chocolate chip loaded with walnuts or pecans. (And truly, it’s the dough that I love the best. It is definitely better than than baked cookies.

Store bought – Oreos hands down. The originals, not double stuffed. I can eat the whole package in one sitting without blinking an eye. Of course, I’ll also drink a quart of milk to wash it all down.

My absolutely fav. homemade cookie is the classic chocolate chip (right out of the oven).
As for the store-bought version, I’m a pretty big Oreo fan. :)

Rolled sugar cookies. Without a doubt. I love making them and I love eating them (I don’t, however, love the extra 5lbs I gain every time my Fiancé talks me into making them). I make them every year with the kids in my family and it’s so much fun to decorate them!
