Yup.

I hate most cookies because they're way too sweet (and most desserts). So I make my own, with ginger or almonds and very little sugar.

+1. I prefer it over CC. 2nd best for me is white cc macadamia nut.

Yes, this 100%.
Except if we're talking Christmas cookies. Then it's the jam-filled almond ones my mom used to make with Mexican wedding cookies in second place.

When I want comfort food, I make chocolate no bake cookies. So many memories of childhood bake sales!

My mom's lemon cookies, followed by snickerdoodles. Chocolate chip cookies would be tied with the peanut butter ones with the hershey kisses for 3rd place.

Darn, I forgot hamantaschen, they fit between the lemon and the snickerdoodles. They are a little more fussy so I don't make them as often, but so so good.

First is a “al dente” 1/4” vanilla sugar cookie with vanilla royal icing - no lemon or almond!

Second is a well executed drop cookie - could be chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter blossom, as long as it’s done well. Not all chocolate chip cookies are good.

Snickerdoodles and Russian Tea Cakes.

ME TOO!

I agree that White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut cookies are the undisputed #1 champion for the title of 2nd place cookie. I'm always excited when I find one on a cookie platter, even though i would always pick a chocolate chip first. but that little taste of hawaiian heaven right after a bite of the traditional choco chip? Sublime.

I also get excited about rolled sugar cookies cut into shapes, with or without sprinkles and frosting. It just feels like a little hug when you know someone decorated a cookie for you.

Same! I always wondered why shops sold oatmeal raisin cookies and ginger cookies. But now I know why!
(I also wonder if PPs also like Christmas fruitcake?)

I like hamentaschen but if it’s not Purim I would never pick one over a good cookie like the chocolate world peace cookie.
