I'm a classic Chocolat chip cookie lover. I also love the pilsbury Holiday cookies they put out ever holiday.

Neiman-Marcus Cookies are the bomb dot com! (the ones with the oatmeal in them, not the regular ones)

SO good! I started making them in home ec in high school and they have been my favorite forever.
We always make tons of cookies. My favorite ones are Cherry Tarts (mini muffin pan, fill each slot with dough to make a mini cup, fill with sliverd almonds/cherry juice/sugar mixture -- bake for 5 minutes and add a cut piece of cherry to it and finish baking 15 min).
Others we make are
Lady locks
Caramel cups
Chocolate chip oatmeal
Sugar cut outs
Biscottis
Gingerbread
Horseshoes (walnut cookies)
My all-time favorite are rainbow cookies. ::drools.....:: What I wouldn't do for one (or twenty) of these right now...
My second favorite are soft chocolate chip cookies. But, I love all cookies pretty much!
ETA: raspberry thumbprints are also high on my list!
thanks for the recipe!
Peanut Blossoms (MIL's are THE BEST), Raspberry Thumbprints (BL makes amazing ones), Oatmeal Raisin and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. Hell, I'm a cookie whore.
My favorite cookie is from a place called Roxy's Deli in Thousand Oaks, CA. They make the best cookies period, but the one I really like is a sugar cookie with the rainbow ball sprinkles. Oh to die for.
My favorite holiday cookies are the peanut butter drops, Mexican bridal cookies (both previously mentioned), and I also love candy cane cookies. Hard to make, but so worth it, they are cute, festive and yummy!
Sour Cream Cookies-my FAVE!!
Peanut Butter Buckeyes-yum!
