I rarely buy cookies do love Walkers Pure Butter Shortbread, especially the ones that are shaped like little Scottie dogs.
Oreos lost their appeal when they ditched the hydrogenated shortening. Now I find their cookies are hard with a grainy filling.Last edited by Bkhuna; September 17, 2021, 12:18 PM.

I like Oreos, and every time they come out with a new iteration my wife buys some, except for pumpkin spice. Hy-Vee makes good Chocolate Chip/chunk & Chocolate Chocolate Chip/Chunk cookies. But of course the best are Girl Scout cookies. With granddaughters who are scouts in two states in two different regions (you are all aware that Girl Scouts contract "local" bakeries, so not all cookies are the same everywhere) so I get variations on things like their Smore Cookies. Thin Mints, Caramel/Chocolate Chip, Smore, we've still got cookies. With 3 girls selling them GS cookies last about six months here. The granddaughter here in Iowa still has a few boxes left, so if you want some you can stop by our garage sale in a couple of weeks and pick some up. What's left are not the most popular. I'll probably be loosing some variety nest year, because the Washington girls are moving to Minnesota. Probably be sourcing the same bakery as Iowa.

I only buy girl scout cookies AFTER the initial ordering craze is over to help the troop get rid of their order overage.
ex: if they only receive an order for one box of thin mints, they have to buy an entire case to fulfill that order - leaving them with 11 boxes they HAVE to sell somehow. Those are the ones' I'm trying to help with.

WillTravelForFood and the girls appreciate that. In normal years a lot of their sales come from cookie booths. They haven't been able to do that recently, and it really hit them. OTOH, people have gone out of their way to buy cookies, maybe because they haven't been able to buy cookies there either. One granddaughter put a sign up in front of their house announcing you could get GS cookies there. Neighbors they had never met, who had never bought from her before bought a ton.

Well…I rarely eat store bought cookies, but if I had to choose…
I’d probably go with Chips Ahoy or Famous Amos because I like chocolate chip…but I haven’t purchased either in many years.
After that I’d definitely add Walker’s Shortbread…because they’re simple & tasty. Though I’ve not had those for a couple years either. :-/
I’ve had a few Pepperidge Farm cookies that were good but couldn’t say which as it’s been forever.
Don’t even get me started on Oreos…suffice it to say that I’m not a fan. And to friends that like them, I simply say, "More for you." I bet I’ve not had an Oreo for almost three decades, Maybe more. LOL

- Oreos, regular.
Thins are too thin for my liking (although they do have good flavor). Tried the MOST STUF version a year ago, blech- too much Stuf
Big fan of the Dark Chocolate variety. - Trader Joe's Joe-Joes are worthwhile, but just a tad too much Stuf to make them a regular option. Holiday-time, we enjoy the Peppermint Joe-Joes and the Chocolate-Covered Joe-Joes. But these are not recommended if you're trying to shove an entire package in your pie-hole at one time. Just a bit too sweet for mass quantity eating.
- Dark Chocolate Milanos
- The usual assortment of Chips Ahoy, Chewy Chips Ahoy, Keebler Fudge Sticks, Keebler Fudge Stripes (regular and Whoops! variety)
- BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG FAN of the Costco chocolate chip cookies (not the ones from the bakery, but in the cookie aisle. THESE ARE FANTASTIC!!!
- The Levithan cookies from the freezer section are almost as good as the actual Levithan cookies from the bakery or the copy-cat recipe.
- Girl Scout samoas and thin mints, direct from the hidden freezer stash and eaten secretly in the back of a closet so you don't have to share. Remember: serving size = one box.
- I find Famous Amos to be too dry, and the nuts take up valuable chocolate chip space
