I enjoy making cookies the most --- in large part becuase I get to eat cookie dough! Ususally it's chocolate chip, though every now I then I'll make oatmeal cookies for a change (for some reason, they just seem healthier!).
Starbuck's Java Chip Ice Cream. Almost as good - Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Chocolate Chunk.
I love the whole process of cooking ... especially a complicated dish with lots of chopping, mincing, etc. to get ingredients ready to cook. There's something so satfisfying about all the effort involved, and ending up with a fabuslous dish at the end.
If you can get over to the Virginia-Highland area, several great options:

The first cookbook I remember using was an old Fannie Farmer cookbook of my mom's -- fromt the 70s I think. It was well used and slighly beaten up. My absolute favorite recipe from it was for French Silk pie -- such an easy recipe but so good. I lost the cookbook in a move many years ago (I'm pretty sure my ex ended up with it) and have never been able to find the same recipe -- the original recipe used raw eggs but any recipe I can find now doesnt. Fortunately, my mom was able to reember the raw egg version so we still make it to this day (and no one has ever gotten sick!).

Cobbler with a cookie dough topping. It's a bit crunchy-it's like a warm sugar cookie. I love to make it with a combo of peaches and raspberries, or blackberries when I get the chance to pick them fresh.
I love making cream puffs. Dressed down, there's a nostalgic sweetness to cream puffs. Dressed up and called a profiterole they become an elegant dessert. There's an art to making the perfect golden brown cream puff.
I like experimenting, and still have a long list of things to try, so I don't go back and make things more than once unless I have a reason to. I think I've made Alton Brown's The Chewy the most, so far.
My favourite dessert is a pear and walnut upside down ginger cake.
Simply delicious with custard or cream.
Homemade Vanilla ice cream on top of warm homemade apple crisp.
I bake a lot. I like trying new cookie recipes, and finding interesting things to do with cupcakes. Lately I've been trying to improve my pastry skills.
I love making an Apple Pie. After I take it out of the oven, I gaze lovingly at it as it it were a favorite child. I even take photographs of my pies and show them when other people are passing around shots of their grandkids.
I love making the flourless dark chocolate tort from the Whole Foods cookbook - Any dessert that requires 12 oz of dark chocolate has to be good!
