I'll give you my top 3:
#3 = Sugar cookies

and #1 (all-time favorite) = plain ol' Chocolate Chip!

Actually more of a Hanukkah pastry cookie, a bit like a miniature croissant. My favorite ones are filled with raspberry preserves and pecans.

Snickerdoodles and Sand Tarts (a Pennsylvania Dutch cookie). My mom baked the latter to perfection, but they take 2 days to make properly (the dough needs to sit for a day)
This link captures the greatness of sand tarts (and what a bitch they are to make). My mom would make an extra batch of dough just so we could eat that

Didn't know Sand Tarts where a Pennsylvania Dutch cookie.
Those were my dads favorites.
IIRC the dough has to be refrigerated for a while...which is where I always got into trouble for eating
it out of the bowl in the refrigerator. LOL.
These are the best when made with Wilbur Buds.
They used to make sand tarts when I was a kid at the bakery in Peddler's Village in Lahaska. They stopped making them at some point, but not before I was able to bring some home to Mrs KG--she was surprised at how good they were. That was the ones that were left after my nephew got into them...
We always demanded a box when I was a kid and we'd go up there on a Sunday drive (I grew up in Bucks Co.).
My favorite cookies for the holidays? A good sugar cookie, my own chocolate chip cookies (my mom made me and my brother learn how to make them ourselves when we were teens--to the point that my brother was nicknamed the Cookie Monster in HS--but we are greatgrandkids of a German baker, so it runs in the blood), and rum balls. Snickerdoodles are good too--I'd never had them as a kid--but my first GF loved them and would make them for us.

Sugar cookie christmas trees, stars, and snowmen with sprinkles. Cold doughs.
I never ran into a cookie that I didn't like. My answer would be, YES... all of them!
A sugar cookie is all I need. Anything else is a bonus. i may be weird but I like my cookies straight from the freezer.
Tradition in our household passed from my grandmother to my mom to me.....springele. Takes 2 days to make - morning, evening, morning or evening, morning, evening. 1) Make dough. 2) Roll out and press onto molds. 3) Bake. Can only make them in cold weather as once they are rolled out, they need to be chilled so I put them in my garage.
Archway used to make a Frosted Finger that was delicious. Basically, it was just a long cookie with frosting on top. However, we can't find them anymore.
My mother makes Ohio Buckeyes for Christmas, but we don't dare call them that. We just refer to them as peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate.
Have a Merry Christmas, everyone.

My favorite cookies also happen to be the easiest to make (and one could argue they're not cookies at all).
Sandwich two Ritz crackers together with a generous amount of peanut butter in the middle. Dip that into a pot of melting chocolate and let cool on wax paper. So choice.
Ginger snaps are my second favorite.

Apricot horns. My Grandmother would make these with a little whiskey in them.
Snickerdoodles and peanut butter kisses, but there aren't many others I'd turn down
I have a recipe for a soft sugar cookie(or chocolate chip) but haven't made them for a few years.
Probably not a Christmas cookie but I love the chocolate caramel pretzel cookies, don't get them very often. The Butcher Shoppe in Chambersbug use to have them once in a while.
Oh and can't have a Christmas cookie thread without...

After years of trying, I can finally make a molasses crinkle that's almost as good as my mother's. And she came close to but never felt that she matched her mother's.

'Nap, would you mind sharing the recipe?
Peanut Blossoms! I LOVE them. Definitely in my Top 3 (after I read the thread).
There's Number 2! I love Michigan Rocks - nuts and raisins. They are hard - have them with a coffee and dunk them.
In order -
1. Peanut Blossoms
2. Michigan Rocks
3. Peanut Butter
My mom makes the best cookies. She's getting older though so say goodbye to the industrial quantities of yore. I'll be headed up to State College tomorrow for Christmas - hopefully Dad has not snarfed them all before I arrive.

If you're going with store bought I'd have to say the chocolate covered stars with white sprinkles. Who made those, Stauffers?
But I'll stick with homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Pizzelles. I know make them for everyone as mom is too old to make them. Can only do two at a time on the iron. 3 hours for one side of the family and another three hours for the other side. Slow process but yummy
