Cook the Book: 'The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread'
I can't remember the first time I had something from Amy's Bread in New York City. Was it an organic wheat baguette? A chocolate-filled brioche? Or a cherry cream scone? Then again, I could have tasted Amy's bread before I ever went to one of her three bakeries—many of the city's specialty food shops and fine restaurants carry and serve her loaves. Sometimes, her cupcakes and cookies are even at the little Sunday farmers' market where I shop.
At some point, I began going to Amy's Bread for the Parisian breakfast. A mere $3.25 gets you a café au lait, half a toasted baguette, butter, and your choice of jam. I fully believe it's the best breakfast deal in the city. And while it's perfectly satisfying on its own, I can never resist picking up a little something for the road as I leave—some biscotti, maybe, or one of the absolutely heavenly cinnamon raisin twists.
Though Amy is most famous for her bread, her desserts are equally delicious. Her salty, caramelized butterscotch cashew bars, for example, display the same meticulous craftsmanship, dedication to fine ingredients, attention and love as her classic loaf of rye. This week's Cook the Book selection, The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread by Amy Scherber and Toy Kim Dupree, is a collection of more than 70 of the bakery's trademark treats, from muffins and scones, to cookies, bars, and old-fashioned layer cakes.

Classic Chocolate Chip cookies are the way to go!

I always loved doing the fork criss crosses in peanut butter cookies.
bobcatsteph3 at 1:25PM on 10/27/08
a classic peanut butter cookie, my all time favorite
HeatherB at 1:28PM on 10/27/08
My mom has a recipe for Rice Krispie cookies (not bars!) that gets raves every time I make it. I've never seen the recipe in a cookbook, and outside my family, I've yet to meet someone that has ever heard of it.
drew13000 at 1:29PM on 10/27/08
I love making "drop" cookies ....especially over-sized crisp chocolate chip cookies with melty insides .........ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips. My mother always had a supply of the dough in the fridge, for cookies on a moment's notice.
Channa at 1:30PM on 10/27/08
Peanut butter cookie!
etirv at 1:31PM on 10/27/08
chocolate chip cookies - they never get boring!
mrsbao at 1:37PM on 10/27/08
I love making the Nestle Tollhouse recipe and switching it up a bit - sometimes more brown sugar, sometimes with different toppings (it'd be perfect for leftover mini candy bars!)
ps - Drew - I have a recipe for a chocolate chip cookie made with rice krispies... they are super good.
NYCEater at 1:41PM on 10/27/08
oatmeal raisin.
musicalpandibear at 1:43PM on 10/27/08
oatmeal chocolate chip with walnuts....mmmm..sooo good!!!
sassysprite at 1:43PM on 10/27/08
Molasses cookies - mostly because of the way they smell...
lo82070 at 1:44PM on 10/27/08
choco-chip gets my vote too.
gastronomeg at 1:45PM on 10/27/08
Snickerdoodles!
cochon at 1:46PM on 10/27/08
Because I'm not really a cookie person, the ones I like to make best are birds' nests. Chinese noodles, melted chocolate, and peanut butter, melted, mixed, and molded. That's it.
Stufsocker at 1:46PM on 10/27/08
Nothing compares with the tollhouse chip cookies. Both easy and yummy.
OneEyedMan at 1:47PM on 10/27/08

Chocolate Chip because they come out perfect every time!

Peanut butter cookies
lindsayll at 1:51PM on 10/27/08
Oatmeal cookies with "the works" - raisins or dried cherries, chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut -- as much as I can stuff in there :)
I'm a HUGE fan of Amy's -- I can't buy a loaf of her semolina bread with golden raisins unless there will be other people around to share it, because I would eat the whole thing myself!!
CookiePie at 1:53PM on 10/27/08
Tollhouse. Nothing else really satisfies the same way. Assuming, of course, that any of the cookie dough makes it into the oven...
sidebernie at 1:53PM on 10/27/08
Me? I don't bake. My wife though makes a really good applesauce-outmeal cookie and a great espresso chocolate chip cookie.
feep at 1:56PM on 10/27/08
It's a total cliche but I love making the chocolate chip cookies from the back of the tollhouse bag. Of course by the time they're done baking them I'm too ill from eating the raw dough to actually want any cookies, but that's half the fun.
Also, it always gives me the giggles to think of that episode of Friends where Phoebe tries to track down her grandmother's cookie recipe which turns out to have been handed down from a French relative, "Nestle Toulhouse".
SFaith at 1:59PM on 10/27/08
Snickerdoodles...I love rolling the dough in cinnamon sugar.
mandabear at 2:10PM on 10/27/08
Chocolate Chip- although the first time I made it I followed the recipe on the back of a bag of toll house chocolate chips. But I like the adult version better with the NY Times recipe.
mchow at 2:10PM on 10/27/08
molasses ginger snaps! esp. in this weather
aeschylus at 2:13PM on 10/27/08
I love making chocolate chip cookies. Plus, it makes the kitchen smell delicious.
caroliiine at 2:14PM on 10/27/08
Nut cups -- shortbread shell with walnuts, pecans, brown sugar, and butter filling. A Christmas staple in my house; they smell sooooooooooo good and are dangerously addictive.
@SFaith: I love that episode! Monica going nuts trying to find the "secret ingredient" is just hilarious, as is Phoebe's, "You Americans always butcher the French language." LOL!
kfarrel3 at 2:15PM on 10/27/08
There can be no one favorite cookie. My all-around cookie is oatmeal with cherries and dark chocolate. My girly/fancy cookie is the World Peace recipe. My quick and easy is a flourless peanut butter with chocolate. And for Thanksgiving, there must be sugar and gingerbread cutouts in the shapes of leaves/acorns/etc.
A cookie for every occasion. Unless it's the kindof occasion that calls for cupcakes. or tarts. or marshmallows.
cyberroo at 2:17PM on 10/27/08
I love Peanut Butter Cookies, making them, eating them.
cdziuba at 2:18PM on 10/27/08
snickerdoodles or...trader joe's chocolate brownie cookies. yes yes, they're a mix and it's actually for brownies, but you can use the cookie recipe on the box and they're AWESOME. especially if you get those addictive tj's mini chocolate peanut butter cups to put inside..

Spice roll-out cookies are my current favorite. They taste good, and they give me a chance to use some of my cookie cutters.
dbcurrie at 2:31PM on 10/27/08
I like oatmeal cookies the best - they can be dressed up with whatever other ingredients are on hand!

Crescent Dragonwagon's triple-chocolate mocha-caress cookies. The coffee makes 'em a real winner.

Cut-outs are the most fun to make, just because of their fun shapes and decorating potential.

FamishedFem at 3:13PM on 10/27/08
Oatmeal raisin. They are quick, simple and endlessly versatile. Plus, I can fool myself into thinking that they are somewhat healthy.
KarynMC at 3:14PM on 10/27/08
Special cookies are a combination of Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Oatmeal cookies with whatever is handy added (M&M's, toffee chips, coconut etc..)

Classic chocolate chip. So easy but soooooo good.

Oatmeal cookies with recipe from the Quaker Oats Lid
saraann at 3:38PM on 10/27/08
Hands down, it's a chocolate chip cookie. It has to be fresh out of the oven, though. I can't bear even day-old cookies. To me, it's a perfect bite of buttery, chocolatey, sweet heaven.
threedogkitchen at 3:38PM on 10/27/08
Chocolate chips cookies...perfect comfort food
mozart23 at 3:39PM on 10/27/08
Another chocolate chip fan here. If I want, I can whip up a basic batch of dough in 10 minutes... or if I'm feeling creative, I can experiment. Perfect either way.
jessie at 3:39PM on 10/27/08
snow ball cookies
piehole at 3:40PM on 10/27/08
For me, putting the cross-hatch fork marks atop chunky peanut butter cookies is like an artist signing his painting. It says, "I'm proud to have made this.." A sense of accomplishment.
czken at 3:41PM on 10/27/08
Chocolate chip - easy and delicious!
edinat at 3:42PM on 10/27/08
Banana walnut oatmeal cookies! It's like banana bread but crispier and dunkable in milk =)
veGieSatan at 3:45PM on 10/27/08
My great-grandmother's Brown Edge cookies. They're the simplest cookies in the world to make and they taste just of butter and sugar, a great combo.
LttlMichey at 3:46PM on 10/27/08
Rolled sugar cookies. I love to pick a cookie cutter and decorate them, and they're delicious.

You can't beat a homemade, chewy, warm chocolate chip cookie. So good!
poke87 at 4:39PM on 10/27/08
My favorite cookie is a mashup we invented last year- based on a Hershey's Take Five it's a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookie with homemade caramel crosshatched across the top. Messy and delish!

My favorites to make are cinnamon cocoa meringue cookies . . . it's what to do with all of the egg whites left over after making ice cream!!
Raspberry macarons (the meringue and ganache kind) and dark chocolate dipped macaroons are my favorites to eat.

My favorite is a modification of the Ranger cookie recipe from the red & white checked Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. It's a buttery coconut & oatmeal cookie, to which I add almond extract, chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. It becomes sort of a kitchen sink cookie, but oh-so-good...

Any kind of oatmeal type cookie - chocolate chip, raisins, cranberries, almonds - you name it - nothing beats oatmeal as an easy medium to work with
Natalie at 7:44PM on 10/27/08
I invented a new cookie: Cop Cookies. Chocolate Chips, Oat Meal and Dried Pineapple. They were a big kit at my neightbors football party-the police officers made outrageous promises if I would make them a batch and the firemen wanted their own cookies. Anybody have an idea for them?
CarolHarrity at 8:04PM on 10/27/08
The regular ones -- chocolate chip or peanut butter (with the criss-crossed fork marks). :-)

mango at 8:08PM on 10/27/08
Oatmeal cookies are my favorite to eat, so they are my favorite to bake. We have a great recipe for refrigerator oatmeal cookies- once you make the roll and chill it, it's as easy as slice and bake!!
js2222 at 8:15PM on 10/27/08
I love to bake cookies. I make dozens of different ones at Christmas! I prefer drop cookies, only because they take less time. I can't seem to get the hang of spritz though.
randio at 8:17PM on 10/27/08
Alain Ducasse's chocolate chip cookie recipe.. it makes several pounds of the best chocolate chip cookie dough ever.. perfect for rolling in cling film and freezing when i'm ready for slice and bake heaven.

Tollhouse chocolate cookies. My kid loves them. Nuff said.

dawns41 at 9:57PM on 10/27/08
40 years ago I copied a recipe from a bag of flour for "can-do" cookies. They were plain rollout sugar cookies that could be adapted as drop cookies or chip cookies or peanut butter cookies or raisin cookies or... The magic of the recipe was that it called for all ingredients to be dumped at once into the mixer and just beaten til combined. Then you could add ingredients, roll it out and bake, or make a log for the refrigerator and bake small batches in the toaster oven. Now, these are not distinguished cookies, but they are fast and easy, and they hit the spot!

I looove refrigerator type cookies. You mix them, roll them up in parchment or plastic wrap, refrigerate, and slice!! So simple, and you can really make any flavors that you want. Big hits during holiday time are Earl Grey cookies from Martha Stewart, Lavender Lemon cookies, and Pierre Herme's Korova cookies... yum yum yum.

It's all about the peanut butter kiss cookies. It's just so satisfying to press a chocolate kiss into the top of a just baked peanut butter cookie and see it melt just the perfect amount.
Also, you get to eat all the kisses with broken off points!
lesliev at 2:19AM on 10/28/08
Florentine Lace are my favorite.
At Christmas I make Mexican Wedding cookies--they are wonderful with hot chocolate & spiced tea.
IMy 2 go-to's are Oatmeal Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies with mini Reece's Peanut Butter Cups instead of Kisses...so divine!!!

dglitter at 9:49AM on 10/28/08
Oatmeal. With fruit, nuts, chocolate, but always lots of oatmeal.
mreichle at 9:54AM on 10/28/08
This is an easy one for me. Since I cant use cutters, form consistant sizes, or cut bar cookies evenly; a good old fashioned chocolate chip drop cookie is my way to go.
Marilouise at 10:10AM on 10/28/08
I make bar cookies called Hunter Bars. They are filled with dates and raisins and very nutritious! They are meant to take hunting or camping.
susanchester at 10:18AM on 10/28/08
Peanut Butter Cookies have been my favorite to bake from the first time I ever made them with my grandmother 12 years ago.
jh70095 at 10:28AM on 10/28/08
Wish I could say something inventive, but it's chocolate chip...
mstone46 at 10:31AM on 10/28/08
My favorite to bake - and to eat - Toll House Cookies!
KimMcConahay at 10:46AM on 10/28/08
The classic chocolate chip!
Gracie at 10:46AM on 10/28/08
My mom's recipe for rolled christmas cookies.
idahomom at 10:50AM on 10/28/08
Peanut butter cookies. There is something about that sugar and fork X that thrills me!
vmkids at 11:29AM on 10/28/08
Chocolate drop cookies, a childhood favorite.
hungrylikethewolf at 12:16PM on 10/28/08
Chocolate madeleines with a cup of coffee cocoa

Old fashioned oatmeal with raisins.

oatmeal chocolate chip cookies dipped in powdered sugar! every time i make it (~70/batch), it's gone within 3 days.
phageintosis at 1:02PM on 10/28/08
drop cookies, especially oatmeal with chocolate chips
Sunnyvale at 1:30PM on 10/28/08
Lime meltaways. Sweet and tangy. Love how you need a vacuum after eating them. Powdery sugary goodness!
finsbigfan at 1:59PM on 10/28/08
Kinda boring, but chocolate chip cookies. Always a crowd pleaser.
jaclynmck at 2:02PM on 10/28/08
no question - oatmeal raisin cookies
sharsd at 2:07PM on 10/28/08
crispy salted oatmeal, definitely.
foodandscience at 2:10PM on 10/28/08
Santa Surprise -- a refrigerator peanut butter dough wrapped around a mini Snickers, drizzled with chocolate after baking. Awesome.
azured00 at 2:22PM on 10/28/08
Oatmeal anything is wonderful. That nice mixture of nutty crisp oats and chewy sugar goodness is hard to beat.
wanderingfoodie at 2:26PM on 10/28/08
My favorite to bake and eat are Snickerdoodles. There's something oddly therapeutic about rolling the cookie dough in sugar and cinnamon, not to mention the aroma of them baking in the oven!
eapgourmet at 2:34PM on 10/28/08
Gingersnaps. I just love them.
iahawk89 at 2:35PM on 10/28/08
Hands down, chocolate chip cookies!
LIDARKSIDE at 2:46PM on 10/28/08
Usually a variation on oatmeal. Lately, I like frosting a plain oatmeal cookie with maple cream cheese icing!
LizNYC at 2:46PM on 10/28/08
It's not very original, but I make Fudge Brownies. Given the choice, though, I'd pick Peanut Butter cookes to eat over Fudge Brownies.
BostonDiner at 3:07PM on 10/28/08
No question about it ... for me, it's oatmeal raisin cookies!
RobsGirl123 at 3:12PM on 10/28/08
My favorite cookie to bake is the peanut butter cookie. Something about pressing the fork in the dough before baking is so satisfying...I know, I'm strange lol.
AsTheNight at 3:14PM on 10/28/08
while its not my favorite cookie, i love making palmiers just because its super easy -- puff pastry and sugar. or sub sugar for any kind of sweet or savory spread you want.
korovka at 3:18PM on 10/28/08
Oatmeal cookies! No raisins, please. The recipe on the inside of the lid of the Quaker Oats container.
semarr at 3:23PM on 10/28/08
I'm terrible at making cookies, but I do have a recipe for molasses cookies that always comes out beautifully, so those are my go-to when I get the urge to bake.
esmesbell at 3:34PM on 10/28/08
oatmeal, walnut, cranberry and chocolate chips. yummmmmm.
grtrossini at 3:50PM on 10/28/08

aharste at 4:21PM on 10/28/08
peanut butter, when I don't burn them! :(
aungeinphx at 4:24PM on 10/28/08
the best cookies to bake? that's tough, but for me it'll have to be BOTH the classic chocolate chip cookies and korova/world peace cookies, simply because the prospect of eating them makes them worth your labor. yuum!
rxjbrowniee at 4:50PM on 10/28/08
I love to bake soft Ginger Cookies. They smell wonderful and are oh so good!
her5boys at 4:50PM on 10/28/08
Monster! Ooey gooey, peanut-buttery, oatmeal-flecked, chocolate-chip and M&M ladened heaven.
midwestern at 5:11PM on 10/28/08
I like bar cookies like blondies!
saraskitchen at 5:27PM on 10/28/08
Peanut butter...making the fork-pressed criss-cross is so home-made!
JEP at 7:15PM on 10/28/08
drop cookies. can't get any easier than that!!
(chocolate chip cookies)
farmkat at 7:15PM on 10/28/08
I prefer baking cakes to cookies, but when I do bake cookies, I always make a batch of chocolate chip along with anything else I make.
mercuryhime at 8:05PM on 10/28/08
Pecan sandies
Jaleigh78 at 8:27PM on 10/28/08
Chocolate chocolate chip cookies with pecans or macadamia nuts.
yankeesgal at 8:37PM on 10/28/08
coconut macaroons - my favorite!
Spicy at 8:51PM on 10/28/08
Gingersnaps.
ktgonyea at 9:01PM on 10/28/08
Favorite cookie to bake? Definitely Dorie Greenspan's alarmingly addictive World Peace Cookies. I love the fact that my mother, who generally eats like a bird, sneaks into the kitchen when no one's around to consume six cookies at a time. Only drawback is that it's difficult not to blush when the people you're feeding stare adoringly at you as if you were some sort of goddess.
miso at 9:30PM on 10/28/08
I LOVE to bake Chocolate Chip cookies! =)
missmy808 at 9:33PM on 10/28/08
When I first was learning how to bake as a kid, I was obsessed with my Boxcar Children cookbook, specifically "Benny's Peanut Butter Peaks" (can't believe I still remember the name). Peanut butter cookies dusted with sugar and then a Hershey's Kiss perfectly baked on top. You can't outgrow that perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate...
nyclocavore at 9:45PM on 10/28/08
I love to make pizzelles.
hildevon at 9:53PM on 10/28/08
spicy gingersnaps
emgordo02 at 9:59PM on 10/28/08
Chocolate Chip!
Rocky at 10:08PM on 10/28/08
mmm, white chocolate macadamia nut! well, I like eating them best, though I also would like to bake chocolate chip cookies (and eat them, too).
abeaudet at 10:09PM on 10/28/08
I just learned how to make a fabulous Chocolate Amoretti cookie last month - they are the best cookies ever!
jkkahn at 10:50PM on 10/28/08
I love my chocolate chip cookies!
sheri8259 at 10:56PM on 10/28/08
snickerdoodles!
jedimtb at 12:16AM on 10/29/08
drop cookies - esp peanut butter and choc chip
das at 12:18AM on 10/29/08
I found a recipe last fall for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that also has hazelnuts and and toffee candy in it! Oh yeah!!!! I think it was a Giada recipe. My whole family flipped out over these.
danipal at 12:55AM on 10/29/08
It depends. If I'm feeling lazy or in a hurry then it has to be drop cookies- usually either Chocolate Chip (with Callebut's Semi-sweet chips) or oatmeal raisin.
But if I have the energy it would be biscotti or sometimes my grandmother's mandel brot.
And if it's holiday time then its all holds barred. Practically the only time I will bother with a roll and cut cookie, especially one that requires decorating.
foodwriter97426 at 1:01AM on 10/29/08
peanut butter cookies!
Chagrined at 1:04AM on 10/29/08
I quite like those "Nieman-Marcus Cookies". The ones from the chain letter that aren't really by Nieman-Marcus.
Also, I like baking brownies...but I guess that's not exactly a cookie.
wunami at 1:08AM on 10/29/08
Chocolate Chip
gibson777 at 3:24AM on 10/29/08
Good ol' Tollhouse chocolate chip!!
AlbinoRockstar at 4:02AM on 10/29/08
I've got a recipe that started off as a clone of the Double Tree Hotel chocolate chip cookies. I've tweaked it up a bit and it's become my favorite cookie to bake and especially to give as gifts. Incredibly yummy cookies. Thanks for the chance to win the book!
ruthann (dot) francis (at) gmail (dot) com
gt0163c at 7:34AM on 10/29/08
sugar cookies with icing. Yum - buttercream!
AnnaBananna at 9:05AM on 10/29/08
Snickerdoodles. I love the recipes in "Best Recipes" from Cook's Illustrated
lucylucy at 9:28AM on 10/29/08
chocolate chip cookies
lfosses at 9:38AM on 10/29/08
Linzer tarts! There's something so satisfying about actually assembling the cookie and then looking at the (gorgeous) finished product. And really...I'm partial to anything that includes the final step of sprinkling with confectioners sugar.
mjohnson105 at 10:22AM on 10/29/08
Chocolate brownie cookies
Sugary Chic at 10:42AM on 10/29/08

Chocolate Chip, no nuts!
jennusf at 12:37PM on 10/29/08
My favorite cookie to bake is Russian Teacakes because I only make those during the Christmas holidays so I consider it my special cookie.
kewpiedoll04 at 12:42PM on 10/29/08
Chocolate chip with extra chips!
amylou61 at 12:53PM on 10/29/08
It's a tie - Oatmeal with dried apricots and toasted almonds or Butter Pecan.
Kimc54 at 1:39PM on 10/29/08
Mmmm huge chocolate chip cookies. I like to make them ridiculously large in diameter for maximum munching.
yummybreakfast at 1:44PM on 10/29/08
I ♥ chocolate chip cookies - they are the best!
Tarah716 at 1:51PM on 10/29/08
peanut butter! CHUNKY!!!!!!!!!!!
sakuraa at 1:57PM on 10/29/08
My favorite is the sugar cookie with sugar sprinkles.
DePro1 at 2:03PM on 10/29/08
Oh no, I have to choose???? milk choc chip with cranberries, monster sized, or biscotti with orange peel & choc.
kathall at 2:06PM on 10/29/08
Chocolate chip from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook!
Rebecca F. at 2:07PM on 10/29/08
chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, sometimes combined.
PerkyMac at 2:08PM on 10/29/08
molasses sandwich cookies with lemon icing as the filling. the citrus cuts the sugar.
angfarrell at 2:53PM on 10/29/08
I was a big fan of peanut butter chocolate chip, but I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies this weekend that I'm pretty sure are my new favorite now.
oneseventy at 2:59PM on 10/29/08
I was given a bakery's recipe (it's a huge recipe, makes like 400 cookies) of buttery spritz that uses pastry flour and dried milk....it makes the best cookies ever! I make them all year long...I can never wait for Christmas.
elderberry44 at 3:16PM on 10/29/08
When I make cookies, I tend to make a lot at a time so I'd have to say that drop cookies are my favorite to make. I'd love to learn some new cookies and bread recipes. Thank you so much!
Tina12312 at 3:32PM on 10/29/08
vegan apple-butter ginger molasses cookies. so so SO good! and so easy.
tortor at 3:38PM on 10/29/08
chocolate chip, for sure.

oatmeal cookies
tex2309 at 4:13PM on 10/29/08
I've been on an oatmeal cookie kick lately!
squidlette at 4:13PM on 10/29/08
sugar cookie with butterscotch morsels
burgerluver at 5:03PM on 10/29/08
Chocolate chip! mmmm A close second is gingerbread cookies with extra spices - the whole house smells wonderful!
jjampm at 5:03PM on 10/29/08
don't do cookies so much so i would say choc chip
sln123 at 5:10PM on 10/29/08
Chocolate Chip also using the recipe off the back of the package of chips. My mom did this while I was growing up and how I love those cookies.
nicnac at 5:20PM on 10/29/08
Oatmeal raisin.
annerska at 5:47PM on 10/29/08
Roll out sugar cookies. I started with my mom, grandma, and great-grandma every Christmas, and now that I'm grown, I do them myself. Someday, I hope to share the recipes and tradition with my own little one.
MeganCochran at 6:49PM on 10/29/08
M&M cookies. Of course the hard part is not snacking on all the M&Ms while preparing them!
fullcircledave at 7:13PM on 10/29/08
Mint chocolate pigs - a holiday tradition! They're a thin chocolate sugar cookie with a smattering of pink dots on the pigs behind. They bring good luck, so hopefully there's a cookbook in my future!
Beth M. at 7:13PM on 10/29/08
Definitely oatmeal raisin.
skeeball at 8:30PM on 10/29/08
I love making chocolate chip cookies and then putting peanut butter in the middle of each cookie before baking. The peanut butter pops through as the cookies bake...mmm
denvergal at 8:37PM on 10/29/08
I love the frosted sugar cookies we make every christmas. The decorating part is fun, plus the cookies have so much butter- they are delicious!
peanutbutterpleaser at 8:39PM on 10/29/08
I love Chocolate chip, dried cherry, pecan, granola cookies
elysek at 8:43PM on 10/29/08
Peanut butter cup cookies where you press a miniature peanut butter cup into peanut butter cookie dough and bake in miniature muffin pans. Yum!
deenarae0 at 10:17PM on 10/29/08
Chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven!
Oenonome at 12:05AM on 10/30/08
Maida Heatter's Mexican chocolate icebox cookies... keep a log in the freezer, and perfect warm, spicy chocolate cookies are never more than 15 minutes away.
KimberlyMcK at 12:27AM on 10/30/08
I love to bake! Favorite cookies are Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin with Chocolate Chips! YUM! I live FAR AWAY from Amy's, so I would love to have the cookbook!
sherryeg at 1:23AM on 10/30/08
I'm usually a chocolate chip cookie fan, but I love how pretty roll-out cookies are!
Vincci at 2:36AM on 10/30/08
Since I'm always pressed for time, bar cookies are my favorite type of cookie to make. I make a tasty oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bar.
Sketchy83 at 6:12AM on 10/30/08
it is a toss up between chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles
bridgettrink at 6:15AM on 10/30/08
The tried and true classic, Sugar Cookies, of course! Simple yet delectable. YUM!
spitfyr323 at 7:06AM on 10/30/08

appleberrys2000 at 8:06AM on 10/30/08
Love to bake the classic chocolate chip cookie baked from scrach. They are soooo good warm fresh out of the oven.

dr_dave7 at 8:15AM on 10/30/08
a classic chocolate chip cookie!
skimmy at 10:56AM on 10/30/08
My favorite 'go to cookie' is chocolate chip. Most often I use the recipe on the bag of Nestle' semi-sweet chips.
Suzzanne at 11:20AM on 10/30/08
The "kitchen sink" cookie - oats, chocolate chips, chopped walnut, cranberries and a little sesame seeds.
gargupie at 1:27PM on 10/30/08
m and m cookies!
akoney at 1:33PM on 10/30/08
There's nothing quite like good old chocolate chip!
jenilowrance at 1:35PM on 10/30/08
Most of the time, Cowboy - an oatmeal raisin with chocolate chips that's easy, delicious, and reminds me of my mother. Actually, it makes me feel like my mother, but that's a good thing.
But, if there's a large quantity of children around and it's December, sugar cookies, all the way. We usually make hundreds for - and with - all my cousins. The best are the dinosaurs and fish covered in an inch of bright blue frosting and dotted with seven or eight sugar eyes - courtesy of the bakers under three feet tall.
cupcakelust at 1:35PM on 10/30/08
Italian Wedding Cookies!

chocolate chip because my recipe collection is so boring. Need this book.
Dedaa at 3:05PM on 10/30/08
Mexican wedding cookies
flourgirl72 at 3:08PM on 10/30/08
I absolutely love every stage of baking chocolate chip cookies, from cleaning the bowl (if my husband lets me have any) to having one warm and melty right out of the oven, to one or two more when I take a batch to work.
sugarpunk at 3:57PM on 10/30/08
Shortbread cookies all the way. You can put all kinds of jams and nuts on them. Wonderful!
misterclaw at 4:07PM on 10/30/08
Gingersnaps. They are the harbinger of fall for me.

Oatmeal raisin with chocolate chips!

peanut butter kiss cookies....the round peanut butter cookies with a hershey kiss in the middle
or perhaps a tie with applesauce molasses cookies?! so hard to choose!
katief at 4:59PM on 10/30/08
Always chocolate chip.
lotswife at 5:21PM on 10/30/08
Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip from Cook's Illustrated The New Best Recipe. They're easy to whip up and my husband goes bananas for them.
francie at 6:43PM on 10/30/08
Good old fashioned chocolate chip
dwarzel at 7:43PM on 10/30/08
Molasses drop cookies - I don't care what they look like, as long as they taste good!
tomie at 7:49PM on 10/30/08
that's a tough one. I think I might have to go with snickerdoodles...maybe with a little white chocolate as an add-in
zekks at 8:04PM on 10/30/08
my strawberries and cream cookies... sugary amazing dough with dried strawberries and white chocolate chunks
elvellon03 at 8:59PM on 10/30/08
oatmeal chocolate chip cookies - my mom's recipe. I've had the recipe memorized since third grade.
brittney at 9:45PM on 10/30/08
My husband makes an incredible oatmeal/chocolate-chip cookie, but it's too labor-intensive for me. Pillsbury slice-and-bake all the way, baby!!
zekebamm at 10:13PM on 10/30/08
Mmm, chocolate chip walnut!
semper083 at 10:44PM on 10/30/08
The deli acrossed from where I work makes a great Black & White cookie!
sandyy456 at 11:07PM on 10/30/08
Oatmeal raisin cookies, although chocolate chip cookies are a close second.
momaloney at 11:08PM on 10/30/08
What a question-chocolate chip, of course!
tcjanes at 11:26PM on 10/30/08
Um, so i don't actually know the name or type or whatever, but i make some cookies that have Dutch cocoa in the dough, chocolate chunks, and white chocolate chips in the dough, as well as pecan chips...they're dense as all hell and come out moist and amazing and rad.
So I guess that'd have to be my favorite...I know it's kinda egotistical to say my favorite is something I make, but what can I say, i know what i like.
rasellers0 at 12:39AM on 10/31/08
Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Almond Chip
superdlux at 8:30AM on 10/31/08

kayte71 at 12:02PM on 10/31/08
Pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip. My favorite thing about fall.
Messily at 1:12PM on 10/31/08
my current favorite is a soft pumpkin cookie topped with a simple glaze if I get it made before they have vanished!
suegsf at 1:18PM on 10/31/08
oatmeal scotchies. i can eat so many of these at once that i disgust myself.
grace24 at 1:34PM on 10/31/08
By and far....*drum roll*...White chocolate chip cranberry biscotti drizzled with dark chocoalte and sprinkled with crushed almonds!!! YUM!!! And easy to bake too.
michelletsao at 1:37PM on 10/31/08
Oh man favorite cookies would be a toss up between:
Benne cookies (sesame seeds)
or
Coconut drops (grated coconut & brown sugar)
Both make me completely homesick for the Caribbean. Cracking the coconut and drinking the water inside and grating the rest. Fun times as a kid.
vi1715 at 1:42PM on 10/31/08
no bake... you get to eat them faster!
Traci7822 at 1:45PM on 10/31/08
I love a good old fashioned snickerdoodle, but I'm going to have to google and try several cookies mentioned here.
Heatherdee at 2:03PM on 10/31/08
Classic chocolate chip cookies - but a whole wheat version. Does that mean they're still classic?
Myabsurdlife at 2:12PM on 10/31/08

Peanut butter chocolate chunk. Yum.

Nothing satisfies like a warm gooey chewy Toll House! All the recipes you are featuring from Amy's book are making me re-think my dislike of my oven! I could totally do this!
izatryt at 5:58PM on 10/31/08
I like to make lemon bars and buckeyes. they are also my favorite to eat so I don't make them all that often.
miaj8 at 6:04PM on 10/31/08
chocolate chip with hazelnuts and oatmeal!
gidget at 6:09PM on 10/31/08
Sugar cookies. Simple, delicious, nostalgic and customizable! I love mine with lime zest batter in the summer and cinnamon sugar topping in the fall/winter.
jangkaeng at 6:40PM on 10/31/08
Bonbon cookies, from the old classic Betty Crocker Cooky Book! I hope I win. I am an absolute Amy's devotee.
cakespy at 8:00PM on 10/31/08
It a cross between chocolate chip and peanut butter

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with nuts (and a heavy dash of spices)
Tennyo at 11:42PM on 10/31/08
Molasses cookies, without a doubt...
Snickerdoodles are a close second, though.
Steen at 12:13AM on 11/01/08
Peanut Butter cookies with a candy kiss in the middle. If you are 8 or 80 you know you want one.
jmsmnz at 9:37AM on 11/01/08
For my family, it would have to be vanilla pizzelles.
Kathy1964 at 12:58PM on 11/01/08
I used to love making good old fashioned Whoopie Pie sandwich cookies with my mother. They were the earlier homemade version of some of the Little Debbie snack Cakes.
missym112 at 1:44PM on 11/01/08
Oatmeal Raisin are my favorite.
mrsglowtone at 4:36PM on 11/01/08

When I met my husband all I heard about were these Peanut Butter Cookies that his mother used to make. A few years ago my sister-in-law gave me the recipe and I've been making them ever since. They truly are yummmmy....but of course we are all peanut butter lovers in house. Chocolate with do, but can't beat peanut butter...

We make sugar cookies rolled out so thin like potato chips. They melt in your mouth and leave the tiniest taste of vanilla and a hint of lemon. Yummy!

Classic chocolate chip cookies. We use the tollhouse recipes, but we use crisco instead of butter, makes super crispy cookies.. it's pretty much the only transfat I allow myself.. they just don't taste the same any other way!
squishpink at 8:48AM on 11/03/08
My favorite cookie to bake is pfferneuse. (hope I spelled it correctly) I only make them at the holidays - I have a very old recipe that I use, and I have not come across a recipe similiar to it ever. Thanks for this chance.
