Additional Comments: I have always been a fan of Salerno Butter Cookies--even if they don't use real butter anymore. Every once in a while I get the major craving and buy a box. I still dip them in milk--even though I can no longer fit them on my pinkie finger like I used to as a kid.

My least favorite are ginger snaps, mainly because in kindergarten everyone took turns bringing the cookie treat and most of them brought the aforementioned. I got tired of them.

I haven't met very many cookies I didn't like. One is Fig Newtons. I never took to those things.

Chocolate chip, Ranger and snickerdoodles are my favorite homemade variety.

Windmill cookies and Maple Cream sandwiches are my favorite storebought from Dollar store. I also love ginersnaps.

I like fig newtons, except for the crunch sound of the seeds in my head--if you know what I mean. There are now other flavor newtons out there, too. What are Rangers? I am really getting a cookie education here./U

I have true cookie cravings once or twice a year. Probably once. Shortbread is good, uh huh. Cocoa (not chocolate!) is good. Oreos: not good! Oatmeal: yummy as long as it's not too sweet. I can't drink milk so I can't discuss the dunk value. I hear it's palatable. :)

Shortbreads---I like those, too./U

i don't really eat sweets, so the butter cookie would be my fave. Steve, loves them ALL, but i think his fave is Macaroons. He loves coconut. Not me. Yuck! Stringy stuff in my mouth. . oh, TMI.

Ah, a fellow butter cookie person. I like coconut on cake frosting--like the Easter lamb cakes./U

The only cookies I ever buy are the Nestle break-apart Turtles. They're chocolate chip with caramel and the best cookie EVAH! I like chocolate chip cookies the best and homemade oatmeal ones second best probably. I hate baking cookies though. I'm not much of a sweet eater. I prefer popcorn when I am having a craving for something in the junk realm.

I've never seen the break apart turtles. I would be hooked! Popcorn is my favorite #1 munchie as well. I always crave salty-crunchies--I can eat it every day./U

I'm trying to think if I ever met a cookie I didn't like? Is marzipan a cookie or a candy? I don't like that.

My favorite cookie changes. Sometimes I want chocolate chip, sometimes Oreos look extra good to me and sometimes just a plain ole' Vanilla Wafer.

Right now I would love to have some Forgotten Cookies. They are merengue with the little chocolate chips in them. Stick them in the oven, turn it off and forget them for a while. They melt in your mouth! Shoot, now I'm craving them and all I have are some lemon creme wafer cookies that I bought at the store.

Do you make the forgotten cookies or are they available at stores? If you make them, how about posting the recipe./U

I make them although I haven't for a looooong time. An elderly neighbor gave me the recipe years ago. I'm not home right now but I'll post the recipe on Monday (if I forget.....remind me) eom mags
