My favorite cookie to make is the good ol’ chocolate chip cookie, the one from America’s Test Kitchen to be more specific!
I find it extremely hard to resist baking and devouring chocolate chip cookies – I like them chewy and gooey! I’m also new to sugar cookies and the world of cookie decorating and I’m really starting to get into them!
Chocolate chip cookies, mainly because my husband loves them.
I have drooled over the cover of this book! I finally figure out the macaron after many attempts so I am very excited about that one!

That book looks beautiful!
My favourite cookie to make and eat is Pilsbury Chocolate Chip, fresh out of the oven
But if I had to choose a cookie from scratch, it would be chocolate with chocolate chips and walnuts.
Chocolate chip cookies are always beloved in our household, but other cookies take turns being at the top of the list, too. I was recently introduced to a fabulous cashew cookie with browned butter frosting that has become a new favorite recipe!
Chocolate chip cookies, because it’s my most requested cookies! For Christmas, I baked at least 8 dozen to give aways as gifts and to stick on the dessert table!
My all time favorite cookie that I will gobble up everytime: shortbread. With nuts, chocolate, espresso, lemon, sugar crystals on top, anything. I LOVE shortbread.
I love making sugar cookie with my daughter. She always has soo much fun cutting out fun new shapes and mixing together our colorful homemade frostings. Sprinkles are always a big hit too.
My favorite are my grandmother’s sugar cookies. I have them down to a science. Thanks!
You’re going to make me pick just one?! I love a chocolate white chocolate chip cookie dunked in milk most I think. But a soft sugar cookie is a close second. Or maybe snickerdoodle. Or gingersnaps. Or mexican wedding cookies. Really, I like them all!
My favorite cookie was my grandma’s chocolate cookies with dried apricots! Yum!! Yum!!
I just recently made a Brown Sugar & Pumpkin Spice cookie, and it has quickly become a favorite!
double chocolate chip cookies…straight from the oven. gooey, moist, warm, and…oh yeah, chocolatey!!
I love snickerdoodles, classic, yummy.
Cowboy Cookies! The oatmeal and chocolate chips make this a total favorite of my family and friends!
My favourite cookie has to be chocolate chip pistachio cookies. yummy !!!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven – they’re chewy and gooey. Delicious!
I rarely have time to do it, but I love my sugar cookie recipe. They are very thin and delicious. Thanks for doing a giveaway!
I’m a sucker for a great Snickerdoodle cookie and I’ve spent countless hours, and batches, perfecting my recipe. They make my husband melt, and that just makes me a happy wife.

Honestly my favorite is Lemon Sugar Cookies with Raspberry Meringue Buttercream.
But I love to try new recipes all the time – the most recent was Peanut Butter – White chocolate no bake cookies.
I love boiled chocolate cookies, they take about 5 minutes to make and they’re so good!
My favorite kind of cookies to make are my hand decorated Kudos Kookies. The reason: They’re the only cookie I ever get to make anymore. Plus, Kudos Kookies are extremely tasty and fun to decorate. However, I would love to win this book you’re offering as a giveaway. Julia’s book looks amazing with such cute ideas. I’m always looking for something new and exciting in the world of decorated cookies to be inspired by, and this book seems like it would fit the bill perfectly.
My favorite cookies to eat are cocoa oatmeal (no-bake) cookies, going back to my childhood! I AM going to buy this book, but first I’ll wait to see if I win it! Thanks for the chance! Love the photos…her cookies are perfect!
Chocolate chip!
If I had to choose a favorite cookie it would probably be warm and gooey chocolate chip cookies. Yummy!

Did I say Oh My God already?
I’m a cookie fanatic! I think my favorite would be white chocolate chip ones though. Mmm!

I love making and especially decorate sugar cookies. I very particular about the cookie books I get and this giveawaw book is super interesting, I’ve seen in at the bookstore. I hope I win!!!
I love sweet spots! (The cookie with the Hershey Kiss in the middle). Honestly, I think I like it just because of the name.
Any sandwich cookie is my favorite to make (and eat) I just love that you can make pretty cookies with thick creamy frosting between them. They are the best of both worlds!
Nothing I love more than a beautifully made, thick sugar cookie with fluffy icing. And I love decorating them, too!
My favorite is my Mom’s molasse cookies… brings back sooo much memories..!
That’s a hard question to answer but one of my favorites is Snickerdoodles. Thanks for the chance to win.

Have to go with a peanut butter cookies. Classic, PB with PB chips or an easy PB Chocolate Thumbprint, doesn’t matter :0)
oh, I never met a cookie I didn’t like! I LOVE them all and I would just die if I won this book.
but, if I must pick one.
It would be a plain pure butter shortbread cookie with one corner dipped in dark chocolate.
ahhhhh, simply divine!
We are crazy for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies…everytime it’s fundrasier-time we always order two big tubs of them.
I like oatmeal craisin cookies. While chocolate chip cookies are yummy, I’m usually disappointed they didn’t come out as soft, chewy, and gooey as I intended. Not a problem with oatmeal craisin cookies.
My favorite cookie to eat is a chocolate sandwich cookie with salted caramel frosting inside. My favorite to make is snickerdoodles, because they are fast and easy and everyone loves them!
Its is a toss up betweeen the classics, chocolate chip and sugar cookies. What a wonderful prize this book would make….fingers crossed.
My favorite cookie is chocolate chip, just can’t get enough of them.
I love baking and eating sugar cookies as they are so easy to cut into any shape and decorate how ever you want. Only your imagination is your limit on this one. Plus they can also be flavored to your choice. You cannot go wrong w/ a sugar cookie.
Favorite cookie? Nothing beats plain, simple Italian Pizzelles…with a latte of course!
)
I love to make sugar cookies and decorate them with royal icing, its sooo fun.
I have to say my sugar cookies are some of my favorites! Although, my childhood favorite are my grandma’s spritz cookies she makes – delish!!!
a chocolate chip cookie is by far the winner for me!
My favorite cookie is a tie between a cinnamon sugar cookie recipe that I came up with on my own and a shortbread cookie. I really can’t stand store bought cookies and my friends say Im a cookie snob but after eating homemade cookies, there is no comparison and to me whipping up a batch of cookies is easier than driving to the store, standing in line, and driving back home. LOL
I love all cookie but sugar cookies from my mom, i like to make cookies that I can drop (oatmeal, gingersnaps) on the pan and flatten with a fork. when I was working a little less, I loved to make gingerbread cookies and all kinds of new Christmas cookie recipes until I ran out of time:)

I love so many kinds of cookies but the ones I bake the most are chocolate chips, sugar and chocolate cookies.
It’s so hard to choose just one, but I’ve got to go with chocolate chip, today anyway.
I’m a COOKIE Addict… so this is tough… Love chocolate chip COOKIES… and many more, but will survive with those
I LOVE to make plain Chocolate Chip Cookies… my grandma’s recipe is absolutely amazing. But it’s also my favorite dough to eat
My favorite cookie is the NFSC. No Fail Sugar cookie.
I’m so glad that I’ve learned how to make these and then decorate them with Royal Icing. They are so much fun and so pretty.
I like to eat honey cookies dipped in tea.
Love this Giveaway! Thanks

I must admit my favourite cookie to cook AND EAT would be a variation of chocolate chip cookie – called triple chocolate cookie – has three different types of chocolate in it and also has a hint of cinnamon..a crowd favourite and a family favourite. That books looks gorgeous..
My all time favorite would be the old fashioned Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. I can eat the entire batch all by myself!
I make what is called Swedish Pastry at Christmas. It is a small brown sugar thumbprint cookie with raspberry jam in the thumbprint. I got the recipe from Aunt Bernice in New Brunswick. I could eat six in one sitting. We have to keep the old recipes circulating and collect the new ones too.
My favorite cookies to make and eat are Mexican Wedding Cakes; aka Russian Teacakes! At Christmas I use colored sugars and flakes to jazz them up!
My boyfriend’s favorites are chocolate chip and snickerdoodles, but I like to use my cookie cutter collection and decorate sugar cookies!

Any cookie with macadamia muts – their taste and texture is like nothing else!
White chocolate macadamia nut!

I love triple chocolate espresso cookies.
My husband loves loves loves the mexican chocolate chip cookies! They probably are my favorite too.
I guess my husband wishes it were chocolate chip but I tend to make a lot of sugar cookies. They are just more fun to decorate so they serve a dual purpose rather than just plump us up, it can also be considered a craft.
Right now I am on an aatmeal cookie kick. I have made 2 batches in the last few weeks.
I just love making frosted sugar cookies. It takes me back to baking with my mom and sisters! We took the decorating so seriously. Cookie making is filled with fantastic memories.
I love making and decorating Gingerbread cookies, it takes me back to when I was a child baking with my Grandma Helen, she was the sweetest woman in the world and she showed me the joys of baking.
Oh, gosh. I love so many different kinds of cookies. I guess my favorites that I’ve made were “Inside-out chocolate chip cookies.” They are the ones where you put cocoa in them so they’re dark, and then you add white chocolate chips. SO good.
A combo of chocolate and peanut butter gets me anytime.
Dang, I have to decide on one favorite cookie – today it would be an iced ginger cookie with a side of lemon cream cheese sandwich cookie and crumbs of chocolate chip oatmeal cookie.
I love making sugar cookies with royal icing. It is so much fun to take a plain cookie and turn it into a work of art!!

Mine to make(and eat for that matter) is an oatmeal/skor bits/chocolate chip/ dried cranberry concoction I came up with a few years ago.
I don’t know if my favorite cookie is actually a cookie. I don’t even know what the right word in English would be for them but in essence its baked meringue.
I usually do it with three egg whites and 1/2 cup of sugar per egg white (1 1/2 cup of sugar total). You do a regular meringue as you would do to decorate a cake but instead, with the help of a piping bag and the tip size of your choice, on a cooking sheet, you pour the meringue giving it the shape you like. Then you put it on an oven at the lowest temperature and bake for about an hour. After the hour has passed, you turned the oven off and leave the meringue to cool completely inside the oven. I leave them overnight just to make sure that the meringue has properly dry.
What I like about it is that its fairly simple, you can give it the color you want and you can make any size without any fuzz.
My favorite cookie to make and eat is my famous chocolate chip cookies. You Can’t mess up this recipe. It’s a winner every time.
