Sugar cookies are the best cookies because they are the closest to just eating raw dough, which most people would rather do but won't admit.

That is a Skip Bayless level bad take.

On two levels: (1) sugar cookies aren't anywhere near the best cookies and (2) the best cookies, regardless of type, are crispy around the edges.

Has he never had an oven-fresh chocolate chip cookie?

Have you ventured over the border(s) to this place yet? Cookie menu changes regularly, and they're really good.

And are we just ignoring the weak-ass end portion of carwash's take where he suggests people are scared to admit they like cookie dough? There are cookie dough stores! Unless he's suggesting hipsters are loathe to admit that they love the now too conventionally popular cookie dough.

I think we can all agree if your favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin you're probably a serial killer or dog rapist or something else really bad.

It's by no means my favorite but I don't get the hate for Oatmeal Raisin. My dogs are fine, thanks.

I haven't. Aside from getting creeped on at Tiff's, I'm rarely (to my knowledge) in Union.

But it's not your favorite. It's fine to like it but if it's your favorite you're a sick person.

Not nearly my favourite cookies, just rounds and rounds and rounds ahead of Oreos.

While by no means a favourite, Oatmeal Raisin isn't so bad.

Vastly preferable to the chemical stew that is an Oreo.

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2019 3:30 pm**

I don't mind oatmeal raisin. I think the hate comes from the view from a distance as a chocolate chip cookie and then disappointment.

A top 5 for me is a family favourite that I've seen in coffee shops and the like called monster cookies that are oatmeal and peanut butter based with M&Ms. Greatness. So perhaps its really the damn raisins.

Co-sign completely.

So undercooked that you get sick enough to forget you ever liked white chocolate? Same here.

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2019 3:48 pm**

OK, fuck you guys for piling on my cookie take when far more egregious things have been posted here, like "fake maple syrup is better than real" and "pineapple should be allowed within a 30-mile radius of a pizza."

I should have gone with a safer cookie take, such as: Thin Mints are only like the 4th or 5th best Girl Scout Cookies.

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2019 3:58 pm**

Is your #1 the flour cookies (Trefoils)?

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2019 4:08 pm**

The chocolate coconut ones (Samoas?) are the best, and I don't usually like coconut.

Trefoils are arguably as good as Thin Mints. The only ones Thin Mints are clearly better than are the "healthy" ones that are basically dirt clods with powdered sugar.

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2019 4:24 pm**

Then you have not have the new Smores which even my kids said tasted like fake food.

We've hung out many times, so you can confirm that I do a good job covering up my serial killer tendencies.

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2019 4:28 pm**

It's far from my favorite cookie, but I don't get the whole oatmeal raisin hate. Just sprinkle a dash of salt on them and they're gold.

What an enormous disappointment those were. Straight to the garbage, my kids refused to eat them.

Fuck Samoas. Power ranking is as follows:

1 Tagalongs
2 Frozen Thin Mints
3 Do si dos
4 Room Temp Mints
5 why bother

Those names mean nothing south of the Ohio River. I gues I know a thin mint but they’ve always been my least fave.

Yeah I’m with mister d on this one.

Maybe he’s only had steamed samosas?

Posted: **Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:12 pm**

Really? No love for Room Temp Mints? Sad.

Posted: **Sat Jun 15, 2019 12:52 am**

I put peanut butter on my Samoas. Because that's what an adult fucking does.

Few years ago, we had a Samoas vs. Caramel Delights taste test. No clear winner

We did this year and Samoas destroyed the Caramel Delights. Darker, richer everything.

Chocolate mint cookies are the equivalent of cantaloupe/honeydew in my book. Throw them away, burn the box and salt the ground so nothing like them ever grows again.

Posted: **Sun Jun 16, 2019 3:15 pm**

I still can't believe hating cantaloupe is a thing.

Chocolate/Mint is a good combination in my book.

But Chocolate/Orange is better.
