Top 10 List: Favorite Cookie Recipes
[We continue to update the "Top 10″ series of posts with cookies!]
Cookie Monster really does it right. He loves life, tackles the world one cookie at a time, and makes no apologies for his unbridled love for the sweets that make his eye go all googly. This is my kinda man monster.
While baking fads will come and go, I’m pretty sure that love for cookies will last forever. Sometimes nothing quite hits the spot like a warm chocolate chip cookie, right? I’ve made dozens upon dozens of cookies over the years, but I find myself making the same handful of recipes over and over again. These are my all-time favorites, in alphabetical order…
1. Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
3. Chunky Peanut Butter Cookies

I wasn’t looking for any particular type of cookies, just something awesome to try out, and when I saw those raisin filled cookies, I knew the search was over. Those look amazing. I’m probably going to have to try substituting the filling for various fruits such as strawberries and blueberries. Yum. Thanks a million Brown Eyed Baker!
OMG cookies are my fav. The oatmeal raisin looks delicious!

I love the look of those Chocolate sugar cookies and how you have “wrapped” them in the ribbon. They would be suitable to give as a gift for any event really – Valentines Day, Christmas Easter. Chocolate works with any occasion!
I LOVE gingersnaps! Spicy, chewy, and not too sweet – just perfect!
I had never heard of chocolate sugar cookies before!

I love macaroons, chocolate mint cookies, chai shortbread and always chocolate chip cookies — with or without oatmeal! :) Cookie monster is my idol!
I love chocolate chip cookies! The Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing sound like a slice of heaven too!
Raisin filled is so old school. They were my grandpa’s favorite and were always such a special treat. I cannot think of a better way to remember him by than having one of these cookies.
I bet when you make these for your family will love you for it
Please Please Please, Brown Eyed Baker – you are my only hope! Once I stumbled on your site you have been my absolute “GO TO” site for perfectly perfect awesome cookies. I find in you the obsessed perfect-cookie seeker I bake (at 375 degrees, check and turn pans half way through then swap top to bottom) within my soul! So, PLEASE – I NEED a copycat recipe for Mother’s ™ English Tea Cookies. I’ve found the Taffy Cookie recipe, but my husband swoons only for the English Tea variety. Can you help, oh Cookie Guru of mine?
Hi Janelle, Unfortunately, I’ve never had Mother’s English Tea Cookies! Are these something you buy at the store? I’ll do some research :)
In no particular order these would be my top ten favourite cookies:
1) Butterscotch Chip
2) Nutty Toffee Bit
3) White Chunk Macadamia Nut
4) Spicy Ginger
5) Chai Tea
6) Cranberry White Chocolate Pecan
7) Mexican Wedding Cake
8) Macaroons
9) Butter Pecan
10) Whipped Shortbread
There are so many more..I just love cookies and baking them too!
The other day I saw on TV a chocolate chip cookie that was super thin. They used flat chocolate chips. Any of your recipes like that? I would love a recipe for them.
Love you site! I want to try everything!

Oooh that’s interesting. I’ve never seen flat chips. I must admit though, I love my chocolate chip cookies to be big and thick!
OMG! I could smell baking cookies just reading this article! I can’t wait to try all of them!
they all look wonderful. I am a huge fan of a good cookie. Crunchy, chocolate-y, or filled with oats and fruit. The perfect snack. 2 cookies and some milk. Thanks for the wonderful selection.
My favorite cookies are Chocolate Espresso Chews! Also, Thomas Keller’s Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I was pleased to see several chocolate varieties on your top ten.
I think cookies may be my favorite dessert/snack/breakfast (ssh!)!
I haven’t tried some of your favorites but they all sound delish!
Ahh I love the cookie monster he is so cute and fuzzy!
My favorite cookie..can I say I love them all???
Just made the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. YUM!!! :)
All of these cookies look so great. I am intrigued by the Italian Fig Cookies. I must make them tomorrow!
I made your PB Oatmeal Choc Chip cookies about a year ago (?). They were amazing and I had about 10 people ask for your recipe!! Mmm!
