What's your favourite biscuit/cookie?

I love a nice and basic malted milk, but if i'm feeling fancy you can't beat a Fox's Golden Crunch Cream.

Custard cream is the real one

Those Digestive cookies go down all too well

@humanity: If i buy Digestives bad things happen.

I mean it's in the name

Chocolate Hobnob is clearly the correct answer!

Yeah, hobnobs are great. Digestives just remind me of going to my Granddad's and being very bored. Fine for a cheesecake base but that's it.

I don't know what it is but I can just keep eating them one after another and they're not even that good but theres something about them..

I like a good oatmeal raisin. Sue me.

Keebler Chip's Deluxe Rainbow. A chocolate chip cookie with M&Ms embedded into it. Absolutely glorious when dipped in milk.

Favorite cookie? Let's see.

Almond cookies from the Asian supermarkets - don't really have a favorite brand name. Actually, I don't even remember the rand name.

Oreos 2nd

I recently discovered the joy of Tim-Tams.

But I really just want Magic Middles to come back. Stupid Keebler. Damn elves.

Chocolate chip, obviously. Preferably a big warm gooey one. Get those raisins outta here.

Edit: With a glass of milk.

These off-brand versions of dutch vanilla sandwich cookies that practically cost nothing and are delicious.

And Göteborgkex' Ballerina when I want something fancier.

White chocolate macadamia nut

^This person gets it.

Store bought: Oreo

Baked at home: peanut butter or chocolate chip

Way back in the dark ages (1960-1980s) there was a cookie company company called Sunshine. Sunshine made all sort og cookies, but they were best known for Hydrox, Vienna Fingers, Golden Raisin Biscuits, and Lemon Coolers.

Lemon Coolers were the best. A very basic lemon cookie dusted in lemon flavored powdered sugar - sinfully good cookie. Today, you can only buy knockoff which are not as good. However, a bad Lemon Cooler knock-off is better than a poke in the eye.

@monkeyking1969: It has been forever since I had a Golden Raisin Biscuit. Not my favorite by a long shot, but 4 year old me wouldn't turn one down.

If I'm looking for a go-to cookie in a hurry, I don't think there is anything better than Double-Stuf Oreos. They have the best ratio of cookie to creme. I also like a good variety of sugar wafers, particularly chocolate and strawberry.

For homemade cookies, I like a chocolate cookie/peanut butter chip combination, or even a chocolate cookie/mint chip combination. My mother also makes a couple holiday cookies which I've always loved. Candy Cane cookies, which are basically a shortbread cookie twisted like a candy cane with crushed mint on top and Jan Hanzels, which are a type of bar cookie with almonds.

@redwing42: Yeah, I ate those Raisin Biscuits and loved them.

I love Fig Newtons as well, some peopel are not big on 'fruit' cookies, but I love them. I love Oatmeal Raisin cookies, Fig Newtons, Raisin Biscuits, Hermits, etc.

Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies, if it's store-bought. I'm also fond of the Costco chocolate-covered shortbread Christmas cookies they put out every year around Christmas.

Homemade, chewy chocolate chip or whoopie pies. Can't go wrong with either.

Peanut biscuits, or jammy wagon wheels. This question is evil, and I now want biscuits

Favorite biscuit is buttermilk.

Favorite cookie is a Tag-A-Long

Favorite biscuit-cookie is a Moon Pie.

Got to be Lotus Biscoff... Yummy any time of the day.

All aboard the oatmeal raisin lovers train!

Bakeri Nankhatai is my favorite

One and done.

Crunch Creams are just a poor man's Custard Cream. Rich Teas (especially the finger variety) don't get the respect they deserve. And I'll always eat a Party Ring if offered.

If I'm baking them myself I'm partial to some shortbread (coated in sugar), but I've recently learned how to make my own Custard Creams and being able to double-stuff them with custard flavoured buttercream is on another level.

The only correct answer.

Toffee Pops from New Zealand are by far the best cookie I've ever had.

Stroopwafels!

And I don't even like caramel in basically anything else really.

@fisk0: Oh my god, those look amazing! Are they Swedish?

They sell them at one of the supermarkets here in the UK, Ocado, so I will try them out soon.

I love Viennese Whirls and Viscounts.

This is my kind of thread!

I really enjoy a digestive, I'll take chocolate ones too but the standard ones are great.

Anzac Biscuits

Makes 18 - 24

1 cup flour

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup finely shredded non-sweetened coconut

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup fine grain natural cane sugar OR brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

1/2 cup butter, cut into little cubes

2 tablespoons golden syrup or honey

Zest of one medium orange

1 tablespoon boiling water

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon orange blossom water

Preheat oven to 325F/163C and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl; flour, oats, sugars, and coconut. Mix well.

In a small saucepan over low heat combine the butter, syrup (or honey), and orange zest. Stir until melted and remove from heat.

In a small bowl whisk together the boiling water and baking soda. Stir it into the butter.

Pour the butter mixture over the big bowl of oats and stir. Add the orange blossom water and stir again.

Place 1in/2.5cm balls on sheet ~1.5in/4cm apart.

Bake for about 12 minutes or until deeply golden. Cool on pan for a couple of minutes then cool on a wire rack.

Notes: A bit of non-stick spray on the edges and center of the sheet pan, under the parchment will help hold it in place.

This stuff is STICKY, a disher might work but I find wearing gloves and doing the best I can with fingers is the way to get them on the sheet with the least frustration.

Oh, right, the biscuits are sticky too so store with squares of wax paper between them unless you want a giant mass (which, granted, would still taste great).

@oldguy: I didn't even think about home baking, i used to make Baci di Dama (Italian hazelnut biscuits) that were pretty good.

I've only had buttermilk and cheddar bay biscuits, I think I prefer cheddar bay but I don't think I would eat them as frequently as buttermilk. Tough choice.

Cookie-wise my favorite might be a star cruncher if that counts. It's so sinfully delicious that I try to avoid them altogether. Plus too much caramel gives me acid reflux. I use to love grasshoppers/ mint crisps but I haven't had one in a long time.

I'm a sucker for good chocolate cookies. Recently I've been digging my homemade.

I have a bag of homemade oatmeal raisin cookies buried in the back of my freezer so I don't eat them all at once. Shame I have no fresh photos of these.

I'd feel guilty if I buy whole box of Oreos, although I'd love to devour everything in the cookie isle. Still, I didn't hesitate when I saw there was a new triple stuff Oreo. We don't get the same variety of flavors in Canada as the US does.

I'm not made of stone... those big 7-11 cookies are good, soft inside and crunchy outside. I go whole hog at Christmas time when I make my great grandma's sugar cookies with my mom.

Chocolate therapy These are gooood
