Best Homemade Cookie In Existence (1 Viewer)

[Henry Ford]

Self explanatory.  What, in your opinion, is the best kind of homemade cookie?

 

[AAABatteries]

I celebrate the entire cookie catalog but the most popular is still the best when done right - vote Chocolate Chip

I do like a nice warm snickerdoodle, plus as an added bonus my mom taught my wife how to make them and she told her the trick was to take them out before they look done, so whenever she makes them I always make sure to tell her the trick is to take them out before they look done (it really annoys her)

Your mom taught your wife that thing you like?

My wife makes a killer mocha chocolate chip cookie that is, absolutely, to die for.  I used to think it was just me and my son being bias or whatever.  I brought them into work and people went nuts.  My wife says "meh, I don't see the big deal, I just added some instant coffee to the mix, you guys are just hungry."

I haven't had a truly great homemade peanut butter cookie. Yet, I'm still voting for it based purely on potential.

I make a mean white chocolate, cherry and cashew cookie that gets rave reviews.

Of the ones listed I'd say chocolate chip because it's so easy and hard to mess up. Also better than avg taste.

My favorite is a chocolate cookie that's hard to make and easy to screw up so not a very good candidate but the recipe is here http://allrecipes.com/recipe/15097/ultimate-double-chocolate-cookies/

I bet.  I'm surprised you're not worried about getting crumbs all over the green room at the drag show, though.

Seriously, though, sounds really good.

instant espresso powder?  How many packets to how much dough?  Does it make the dough darker?

now pretend that it is a dried blueberry instead of a cherry.

If they're done right (soft, chewy) nothing beats a peanut butter cookie.

Fresh, warm chocolate chip right out of the oven but not over cooked.  With a glass of ice cold milk.

Not the chips ohoy crap.

This thread needs recipes of said awesome cookies.

I think she's using old school instant coffee.  How much?  No idea, I will ask her.  I do think it makes the dough darker.

 

[Galileo]

Damn.  I came in here hoping to find a recipe for the best cookie... 

 

[Franknbeans]

I would post the recipe but then I'd have to kill you.

The Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie is the best. Period.

The best way to do a peanut butter cookie is the Peanut Blossom; peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss. My wife makes them for Christmas, but they could be done all year.

Thanks - post the recipe if it isn't too much of a hassle.  Or link to it.

Potbelly's Oatmeal Choc Chop cookie - If do right, no can defense

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

My wife makes a cookie for Christmas that is like a hybrid of a molasses cookie and a gingerbread cookie, with dark chocolate chunks. It is the best cookie in the world.

Way back when, before it burnt down (1984), I got to eat at the place where they invented the Choc Chip Cookie. The Toll House Restaurant, in Whitman, MA and the cookies were awesome!

I feel like this whole thread was a commercial for Greek Wedding Cookies.  Never heard of em and can't imagine they are in anyone's top 10.

I don't even know what a Greek Wedding Cookie is.

Got a recipe? We do cookies every year for gifts and we're searching to replace our current one.

Had to look it up - pretty sure I’ve had them and don’t really care for them that much.

I wouldn't vote for it as "best among all others" but if you slipped baklava in there I could see it.

Everything beats a peanut butter cookie.

Homemade - Chocolate Chip

Store-bought - oatmeal and raisin    shoot me

My wife used to have a hand-written recipe from her grandmother, but we lost it in a move.  In truth, I normally just buy the ones from a local DC bakery called Whisked, which is a dead ringer.  I have, however, tried to make them for the holidays a few times.

There's a Martha Stewart recipe that is very close.  And an Anne Burrell recipe too.  I like the Burrell recipe because it has cloves.  The key is to look for a recipe where they're showing a cookie with a fairly large diameter.  It should be thin and crispy at the edges, have a crinkly top, and be denser and chewier in the middle.  From there, you can toy with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg etc. to taste.

not a fan.   However my wife makes the best damn peanut butter cookie with the hersheys kiss in the middle, don't know what you call them but that's a death sentence for me when she makes those.

My mother made something that was 'Mexican' Wedding cookies, fairly similar recipes. Agree with AAA, not my favorites either.

I like 'em, but my wife would murder a homeless person for a bag of them, so I figured I should throw it in.

Chocolate chip is the missionary position of cookies.

Looks like a Russian Tea Cake apparently 

 

[Scoresman]

Pretty much.  And Oatmeal raisin is basically the dirty sanchez of cookies.  Disgusting, and you have to be out of your mind to enjoy it.
