I just remembered favorite cookies I bought at my convience store (no longer available because the company sold to Kwik Trip. Truly sad )
It was the Best Maid cookies by the Rise Baking company. The convience store would get the dough frozen and bake them in house. Chocolate chip and the M&M cookies were my favorite! After three years, I miss them still!
Tonight silly me thought, I'm going to open a cookie store to sell these cookies! Ha! Just need a little space and an oven! Yeah, not going to happen.
Archway Molasses is the best gingerbread (with icing)???
Yes. Gingerbread has molasses in the recipes I've read.
You don't have to include Molasses in your gingerbread, of course. These are soft and spicy. To me, Archway Molasses is a delicious gingerbread cookie.
I found some nice soft ones in a European bakery in a nearby big city after an exhaustive search, but unfortunately it's considered a strictly seasonal item. I don't see why it should be! They don't have to be "man" shaped... If it's thin and crisp, then it's indistinguishable from a ginger snap, IMO.
Make them any shape as long as they're available all the time.
Frankly, it is impossible to narrow down to one cookie as a favorite. I tend to prefer soft and chewy over crisp and snappy, but there are definitely exceptions. As the decades have passed, taste has also changed a lot.
German chocolate covered lebkuchen cookies from TJ's when in season - takes me back to when I was living in Europe. Also, Jaffa cakes, originally from the UK - traditional Jaffa flavor, but the store I frequent with European imports carries versions with cherry, strawberry, and raspberry fillings too. Also Tim Tams - wow, are they tasty. From Italy - Loacker is a brand that makes delicious and unique cookies. From Holland, gotta love the speckloos cookies! One or two tops, maybe every two months or so.
As a child, I ate a lot of American made cookies. I used to love Mothers' Circus Animals cookies, and chewy Chips Ahoy. As a young adult, I favored those Keebler and Pepperidge Farm cookies, like pecan sandies and the fancy bag big cookies like the Tahoes. And who makes those chocolate chessmen cookies? Lately, I can't stomach any of them - they are, as many have mentioned, too sweet and taste like chemicals. I get terrible dyspepsia if I try to eat one now.
I'll have to check some of these out from World Market, the Tim Tams and Loacker sound good. Thxs!

But they don't have icing, right? I'll have to check those out (always looking for gingerbread); thanks!
They don't make these anymore, but Sunshine Raisin Biscuits were my favorite. I found a copycat recipe, but they are a pain to make.
