The best cookie is?

@Saltssaltgirl The best cookie is very specifically the "egg yolk chocolate chip cookie" as sold by Claire Ptak's Violet bakery in Hackney, London, the recipe for which is also in her cookbook of the same name.

The second-best cookie is Joanne Chang's "ginger molasses cookie" from Flour in Boston (and again the recipe is in the cookbook of that name).

@Saltssaltgirl My mother’s shortbread cookies. Beyond simple; beyond compare.

@Saltssaltgirl I will admit to having an occasional weakness for the giant frosted chocolate-chip cookies that supermarket bakeries sell with seasonal designs on them in awful dyed "bettercreme" frosting. Nothing about these is good but sometimes you want what you want.

@Saltssaltgirl Do jam drop cookies fall under sugar cookies?

@Saltssaltgirl - My all-time favorite is probably an oatmeal scotchie (though concerning this list, I voted peanut butter).

@Saltssaltgirl the best cookies are the ones that aren't getting sold by megacorps to advertisers
