I like cookies a lot, I hope you do too. In fact, I am eating cookies right now, no joke. Discuss the pros and cons of all kinds of cookies here.

I like home-made chocolate chip cookies the most, but if I'm going for ease and pure bulk, I'll get Chips Ahoy.

You forgot the Pancakes option. :p

That said, my mom's Christmas cookies are excellent... yes, I used present tense for a reason... no, you can't get some, there aren't enough left for that... :p

I haven't heard of any of those ones.

I like Anzac biscuits the best.

If we must study mass produced cookies, the Milano cookie from Pepperidge Farms is quite delicious.

Time to bring up the old debate again: in Britain (and possibly other Commonwealth countries, I don't know), a cookie is a very specific type of biscuit, while I've never heard an American use the word biscuit.

What, if anything, would Americans regard as a biscuit? Pictures, if you please.

On the original point: the kind one of my mates makes; I'm at uni, and incredibly cheap, so I don't buy biscuits..

A biscuit is a sort of small round bread thing you have for breakfast. If you live in the american south, you eat it with gravy, other places, you put butter, jam or honey on it.

Homemade cookies are the best. (Made from scratch). They have to be consumed all at once however, as they don't stay fresh as long.

I like chocolate, with white chocolate chip and macadamia chunks.

Koulourakia and melomakarona.

I like kourambiethes with coffee much better. Koulourakia remind me of church, dunno why. Makes my back hurt.

God wants his biscuits to be joined with gravy, its in the bible.

My favorite cookies are probably my homemade triple-chocolate caramel chunk cookies. My gingersnaps and plain old chocolate chip cookies are also strong contenders.

As for store-bought things, I'm not sure I have any consistent favorite, but I recently discovered Walker's "Strawberries & Cream" cookies, which are extremely tasty.

mmmmm. Mint Milanos.

If I can't have homemade cookies (any kind as long as they don't have raisins, I hate raisins), give me Pepperidge Farms cookies, especially mint milanos and Chessmen.

I'd call them scones (but I wouldn't eat them with gravy).
