I give you Aachener Printen:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachener_Printen

I'm absolutely addicted to these things. Sort of like a traditional lebkuchen, but with a different mouthfeel and ingredients like anise and honey. Oh man.

Stateside, have to admit I'm a Nutter Butter fan.

I am partial to Amazon's cookies.

Chocolate chip all the way. Peanut butter is good, too.

Hard/soft? Barring straight out of the oven, I prefer a chewy chocolate chip. I'm outvoted though - the whole rest of the family likes the crunchy ones.

Those Aachener Printen sound nice; beetroot is a main ingredient? Guess on my way to Lübeck and Wuppertal (eventually) I'll have to stop in Aachen too.

If I'm in a UA lounge, I'll always grab a Walker's shortbread. For Pepperidge Farm, Chessmen, though original Milano did it well too.

Lu comes to mind, as do various cookies in a Japanese convenience store.

The LHR *A lounge has an excellent cookie also. I always grab a few packs when I'm there. I've forgotten what brand it is, maybe Walker's.

By the way, most of those bakeries in Aachen ship, so I always have them sent to my house. Of course, I live here in Germany. International would probably be prohibitive.

White chocolate macadamia nut, preferably soft/chewy, but I'll take a crunchy one without complaint.

Laura Todd cookies, bought at Lafayette Gourmet in Paris. Unbelievably yummy.

Original site is in French, so this is the yelp page.

Chewy chocolate chip cookies, although more soft than "chewy."

Looks like Dijon also has a Lafayette. I will visit next week and try to pick some up. Thanks for the tip.

Very "melt-in-your-mouthy." Almost tastes like the raw dough (but isn't).

Spritz (Swedish butter cookies) for me. Walnut crescent cookies are a very close second.

I'm a soft/chewy fan also. One of my favorites is Tiff's Treats here in Texas, and it is not just because I share a name with the owner. They deliver warm, straight from the over cookies, and they remind me of college.

Chewy oatmeal raisin

Oreo.

At Christmas time, though, butter cookies.

I found another entry: "Cereal Cookie Choco & Almond" from Lawson, a Japanese convenience store. They've got a rad nut tart too, but that's another thread.

I'm a sucker for a warm oatmeal raisin cookie but commercially I'm addicted to the Momofuku Milk Bar Compost cookie.

danish butter cookies. my dad used to bring him home from work every Christmas when he worked at maersk.

Gotta be soft oatmeal, dark chocolate chip with walnuts.

Hands down, homemade chewy oatmeal raisin (or craisin). My 91 year old Mom STILL makes the best.:)^

Would your Mom care to part with her recipe? I'll bet it is a winner. Thanks.

chocolate crinkle or mexican wedding cookies

My vote would be for white chocolate (good quality) macadamia nut cookies. I'm weird though, I don't like cookies straight out of the oven. I prefer to eat them without falling apart. I don't drink milk by itself (only in cereal) either so I'm always the odd one out.

Tim tam's, or a nice warm gooey chocolate chip

chocolate chip cookies with a bit of crunch on the outside and soft and gooey in the middle. same for snickerdoodle cookies. omomom

Another thread mentioned macarons which got me longing for them. Otherwise it's soft chocolate chip or iced molasses.

I like just about any cookie that doesn't disintegrate after a quick dunk in a glass of milk.
Cookies + milk = yum. :)

If pistachio macarons count as cookies, there's nothing better. If not, peanut butter for me and chocolate chip for the SO.

If macarons are what I think they are, I sometimes get them as petit fours. Maybe I haven't had the best as they've never really grabbed me. Too sweet.

Definitely had them, just not sure where yet. Obviously I need to try them again.

plain old chocolate chip ^

I'll see what I can do, but don't hold your breath. :)

Good shortbread is where it's at.

OR perhaps oatmeal raisin chocolate chip.

Impossible. I never met a cookie I didn't like. Some of my favorites:

The macarons from Gérard Mulot in Paris. My mother's date filled oatmeal cookies. Chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven. Walker Shortbreads. Macadamia nut shortbreads from Honolulu Cookie Company. I don't know if they still make them (I used to buy them at Jewel in Chicago and I don't shop there anymore): President's Choice Chocolate chip cookies. The lemon ricotta cookies at Nordstrom Cafe. My own chocolate peanut butter swirl cookies. Raspberry nut delights (layers of shortbread, raspberry jam, coconut and pecans). Food for the Gods (an incredibly buttery date bar found in an old Filipino cook book).

Can't argue with that. :cool: But... Black and white in New York tops all. I even know where you can find the best one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwasher's_bakery ;)

Thanks for posting this. I've never had a black and white cookie in New York that tasted like it was baked within the month previous to purchase.

Orwasher's B&W is so moist that a glass of milk is an option, not a necessity. @:-)

When you come to NYC, 2e and I will treat you.

Snickerdoodles or some Mother's Circus Animals for me please :).

I'd nominate the Levain Chocolate Chip Walnut. Although their Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip is pretty solid too.
