I think the Toll House Chocolate Chip is the most eaten cookie. I bake them and buy them, but most of all I like to eat them.
I love Toll House Cookies too. I also make a spice cookie.
I really like biscotti. The ones with lemon or orange zest and almonds. I make them.
Butter cookies with buttercream icing. Mom used to make them for all ocassions. I didn't start trying to make them until she no longer could about three years ago at age 88. I never wanted to steal her speciality. Last year was the first year that mine came close to comparing with hers.
This year I am making these cookies to give to the family for Christmas gifts. So you will find me in the kitchen when I am not doing for Mom.
If Mom can move to the kitchen - it may be good for her to wacth you and "help" - at least talk while you Bake.
Polka dot macaroons and sugar cookies with colored sugars. Polka dot macaroons are a merenge ( can't spell it for the life of me) with wheates/corn flakes, coconut and chocolate chips.Mom started making them in the 40's.

MommaLisa --- Life just isn't fair! You look too skinny to have been exposed to all those goodies. My sister-in-law used to start baking and candy making every year in November and by Christmas time she had trays of assorted candys, cookies, and fruit breads that she gave out for Christmas. I think that I miss her more this time of year than any other. Of course we were all diabetics and "really needed it all.
I'm not into cookies or sweets in any big way, but I'd give a lot to bite into one of my grandmother's sugar cookies again. She called them tea cakes, but whatever they were, they were for me the definitive cookie. She baked them several times a year, not just at Christmas, but this is when I start thinking about them... and listening to my Perry Como CDs.
