‘Chocolate Chip Cookie Day’ Coming Up, The Top 5 ‘Cookies’

National "Chocolate Chip Cookie Day" is coming up later this week and it's time to celebrate. Got to be honest, I don't think there is any cookie better than a well baked chocolate chip cookie...especially with a cold glass of milk. I always knew it was going to be a great day when I would come home from school and my mom had baked a batch.

Now with all that said, we come to find out that the chocolate chip cookie is America's favorite cookie and we will eat at least 21 cookies a month! Some even admit to even eating more than that...now they might not all be eating chocolate chip cookies, but probably!

41% of those polled in the research said that they would consider themselves a "cookie eating" expert and how does that happen? Well, some say that you have to at least eaten over 300 cookies in a year! If you do the math, eating at least 21 cookies per month, to be considered a "cookie eating" expert, that would take a little over a year to get your fictitious degree in cookie eating!

Now seeing that the chocolate chip cookie is America's #1 cookie, what does it take to be the perfect chocolate chip cookie? Some would agree it needs to be soft and chewy, just the right amount of brown sugar and chocolate chips...and to be eaten right after they come out of the oven!

The good news through all this is that over 61% say that if you're having a bad day, a "good" cookie can turn your entire day around and turn that frown upside down! And isn't that the reason we enjoy cookies?

So, outside of the famous chocolate chip cookie, what are the other cookies that American's favor as we get ready to celebrate National "Chocolate Chip Cookie Day"? Well scroll down and check out the Top 5 and see if you agree or not...enjoy!

Not really a huge fan of the Shortbread cookies, but clearly there are enough people that do to get this cookie into the Top 5 of Favorite American Cookies!

The weird thing about this cookie, there are some who love oatmeal and raisins separately, but put them together and it's a different story! However, there were enough fans of this cookie to put it at #4 on the list of favorite cookies in America!

What's better than a chocolate chip cookie" How about a chocolate chip cookie with DOUBLE the chocolate chips! That's why its no surprise that it made it all the way to #3 on the list of Top 5...maybe it should have been #2?

Again, some love Peanut Butter, but you put it in a cookie and it rockets to #2 on the list of Top 5 cookies in America!

Of course as stated earlier, the all-time #1 cookie in America is the Chocolate Chip Cookie! By far the favorite with kids and adults...nothing beats a well baked chocolate chip cookie and that's why it continues to be #1!
