what is your favorite homemade cookie?

this is like asking what kid i love more!
I've recently been on a shortbread kick, though. Especially lightly flavored shortbread (I make a sage-scented one that's good & am thinking about trying out a lavender or violet or rose one). I'll never turn down a good chocolate chip cookie though. Especially if warm & slightly soft.
is there something you need to tell us?
Stand up for something you believe in.

i love a classic, chewy chocolate chip cookie (or bar), especially when still warm

LOL, no. Some day, but not right now. Just using the expression!
they are not cliche, they are classic!
My mom makes a mocha chocolate chip bar that is my absolute absolute favorite. They are made with coffee grounds (pre-brewed) and are kind of dry/crunchy but they totally melt in your mouth. They are one of those things that I never try to make b/c I know they'll never taste the same as the ones that she makes.
Now I'm wondering why I'm not making those for Saturday. Maybe next year.
Good old chocolate chip cookie. DH's grandma made THE.BEST.EVER! She taught MIL who taught DH. Seriously, any cookie baking in our house is done by him - not me.

I grew up with anise oil cookies for Christmas - like sugar cookie dough you roll out, but not as rich or sweet. They smell like the anise oil (licorice), but don't taste of it ... hard to describe. I HATE licorice and I love these cookies.
Roll, 'em, cookie-cutter 'em, sprinkle 'em with red or green sugar crystals, bake, and yum. Love to dunk 'em in my tea, too.

For a 'complicated' cookie, my fave is grandma's pineapple filled cookies. I don;t know if I will get around to them this Christmas but I love them since they are different than the general cookies I make year round.
For a more basic cookie I love a chewy oatmeal with raisens.
