00:00 "Let me tell you about Brent. Brent led a rich life, you never met a nice-"
00:05 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most delicious cookie brands to be found on store shelves.
00:12 "Oreo, unlock the magic."
00:14 "Nabisco!"
00:16 There are often different criteria that come into play when deciding upon the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
00:24 For some consumers, texture is key, whether soft, chewy, or crunchy.
00:29 For others, it's the quality of the chocolate used during the baking process, and how that taste lingers on the tongue.
00:34 The Famous Amos brand has historically possessed zero difficulty in appealing to a diverse fan base,
00:39 on account of their snackable size, crunchy exterior, and complex chocolate flavor.
00:44 "The public image that was created for Famous Amos was the result of the perceived integrity of its founder, Wally Amos."
00:50 "Building on that reputation through skillful public relations became one of the company's primary marketing goals."
00:56 There's also a pleasant graininess to a Famous Amos cookie that, although isn't appreciated by everyone,
01:01 makes our collective taste buds water just thinking about it.
01:05 Number 9. Entemann's.
01:07 The Entemann's brand is a global bakery powerhouse, delivering sugary goods to countless supermarkets around the world.
01:13 "It seems we made our new soft-baked cookies a little too hard to resist."
01:18 Don't sleep on their cookie confections, however, since those tiny Entemann's chocolate chip cookies are sleeper hits in our book.
01:24 A lot of our appreciation for these cookies is dichotomous to why we like Famous Amos.
01:28 Entemann's brand cookies are velvety soft and gloriously chewy, a decadent treat with a fresh-baked taste.
01:34 Sure, their comparatively small size means that we occasionally, well, okay, frequently overindulge,
01:39 but we feel absolutely no shame in our game when it comes to Entemann's.
01:43 Number 8. Tate's.
01:44 We admire the story of Tate's owner, Kathleen King,
01:47 and how she brought her bake shop cookies from humble beginnings and onto store shelves.
01:52 "I think our chocolate chip cookies are popular with everyone because it really strikes a chord of memories from their past,
01:59 because they really taste homemade, they taste like somebody's mom made them or their grandma,
02:04 and it just really strikes that chord of some of the past."
02:08 There's a delightful crispness to a Tate's cookie that sets it apart from many of its contemporaries.
02:13 They feel like the sort of crunchy confection that you would find at a local shop, because that's exactly what they are.
02:18 Beyond this, however, the Tate's flavoring, from their wonderful dark chocolate variety to white chocolate macadamia nut,
02:24 tastes complex and layered.
02:26 "The secret that makes the chocolate chip so addicting, salted butter."
02:30 "Butter, vanilla, sugar, all-purpose, unbleached flour, a nice semi-sweet chocolate chip."
02:39 There are clearly some high levels of quality control when it comes to Tate's,
02:43 and there are even gluten-free options available.
02:45 Basically, what we're saying is that there's a Tate's cookie for everyone, and everyone should try a Tate's cookie.
02:51 "We know the best part of ending your day is starting your night.
02:57 You time. It's baked in. Tate's."
03:01 Number 7. Fig Newtons
03:03 "I saved you, sir. These cookies are stupendous.
03:06 Great scotch, ever. They're not cookies, they're Fig Newtons."
03:10 We know what you might be thinking.
03:12 Are Fig Newtons more of a cookie or a snack cake?
03:14 To which we'd reply, they're delicious, especially for the purposes of this list.
03:19 One might not think that a chewy little bar made up at least partially of figs could be this sweet and tasty,
03:24 but those same people also probably are not pretending for a moment that Fig Newtons are healthy.
03:29 "Can't be proper all the time."
03:31 Instead, we just snack on these little bites for the same reasons everyone else does.
03:35 They have great texture, a satisfying middle section,
03:38 and they're filling enough so that we don't gorge ourselves on an entire pack.
03:42 So maybe they are healthy.
03:43 "Cookie is just a cookie, but Newtons are fruit and cake."
03:46 Number 6. Keebler Fudge Stripes
03:49 The Keebler elves are busy making all sorts of sugary sweets for the kid in all of us.
03:54 "Here you go."
03:54 However, we fully cop to being particularly partial to their fudge stripes.
04:01 These shortbread cookies are just snack time bangers,
04:04 thanks in part to those stripes of fudgy chocolate.
04:06 The actual cookies themselves also taste great, sure,
04:09 but it's that combination of shortbread and sweetness
04:11 that makes fudge stripes just so insanely snackable.
04:14 "Perfectly fudgy, uncommonly good."
04:16 We do not know what kind of magic goes on in the Keebler bakery,
04:20 but they're clearly doing something right in that magical forest.
04:23 "In the Keebler hollow tree, where we make crackers and cookies uncommonly good."
04:28 Number 5. Peek Freens
04:30 "Peek Freens are a very serious cookie."
04:33 "Who's been eating a Peek Freens?"
04:35 U.S.-based cookie fans may not be super familiar with the Peek Freens brand out of London,
04:39 but these delicious cookies have seen successful marketing in areas like Canada and even Pakistan.
04:45 These tasty biscuits are an indulgent treat made with quality ingredients
04:48 that leave a delightful aftertaste on the tongue.
04:50 "And unlike these boring lumps, Peek Freens have a superb rather delicate taste."
04:55 "No, when I want a treat, I prefer something a little more distinguished."
05:00 The assorted cremes have a little something for everyone.
05:03 With assorted garden creme, french vanilla, fruit creme, and bourbon creme.
05:07 But it ultimately doesn't really matter which flavor of cookie you choose.
05:11 They're all gonna taste delicious and leave you coming back for more, guarantee it.
05:15 Number 4. Nutter Butter
05:17 We realize that it's often chocolate chip cookies that get to enjoy the spotlight
05:21 whenever conversations like this come into play.
05:23 However, we just gotta give it up for the peanut butter flavor profile as well.
05:27 Nutter Butter cookies are often the number one name in the game when it comes to PB snack and goodness,
05:31 and deservedly so.
05:33 "It's another Nutter Butter peanut butter sandwich cookie."
05:36 These Nabisco brand joints provide all of the peanut butter nourishment required for a balanced diet.
05:40 And they're even in a fun shape.
05:42 Additionally, the Nutter Butter brand is versatile,
05:45 and can be incorporated into desserts or as an ice cream topping for that extra decadent twist.
05:50 Number 3. Pepperidge Farm Milano
05:53 You just know that a cookie brand is doing something right
05:56 when they're able to expand to the level of a Milano.
05:58 "But Pepperidge Farm ain't just gonna keep it to Pepperidge Farm's self-free of charge.
06:02 Maybe you go out and buy yourself some of these distinctive Milano cookies.
06:05 Maybe this whole thing just disappears."
06:07 That's because these Pepperidge Farm biscuits can be found in a myriad of flavors,
06:11 from traditional chocolate to mint, hazelnut, and even lemon.
06:15 Milano cookies, referred to as Monaco's in Canada,
06:18 have their sandwich format on lock,
06:20 with a flavorful filling nestled firmly in between two sturdy and addictive biscuit textures.
06:25 We'd honestly dare you to try them all,
06:27 but we wouldn't want to be held responsible for the sugar rush.
06:30 "These are fancy, Santa."
06:31 "Fancy, Santa?"
06:32 Let's just leave the Milano overload for the holiday season, shall we?
06:36 "Oh yeah, they're that good."
06:38 Number 2. Chips Ahoy
06:40 "So, uh, where's the cake?"
06:41 "We're not having cake."
06:44 "Uh-oh."
06:47 Snackers of a certain age may remember a time when Chips Ahoy brand cookies
06:51 felt a little larger than they are now.
06:53 Or maybe it's just a Mandela effect situation.
06:56 It doesn't really matter much in the end,
06:57 because these mass-produced cookie legends are still rocking our world.
07:01 Decades on from their 1963 debut.
07:03 There's just a perfect ratio of cookie to chocolate within a Chips Ahoy
07:07 that's impossible to describe for those who somehow
07:09 have never sunk their teeth into one or five.
07:12 Chips Ahoy are crunchy enough, chewy enough,
07:14 and sweet enough to satisfy just about any hunger.
07:17 And they've since been sped off into dozens of differently delicious flavors.
07:22 They are a true cookie classic.
07:24 "The chocolate chips everybody wants! Chips Ahoy!"
07:27 Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
07:31 Walker's Shortbread. Thick and delicious.
07:34 Annie's. A slightly healthier option.
07:36 Nilla Wafers. Nilla Wafers. For decadent desserts.
07:40 "Only good things go into Nilla Wafers."
07:44 "Nibisco makes 'em."
07:45 "So the good taste always comes through."
07:48 "From Nibisco!"
07:49 Otis Spunkmeyer. A classic never goes out of style.
07:52 "92% know our brand."
07:54 Mrs. Fields. For that home-baked taste.
07:59 "This year, put gift-giving in our hands."

08:15 Number 1. Oreo
08:19 "Oreos. Man, I love those. Halloween ones are the best."
08:24 There is a very good reason why Oreo brand cookies have become somewhat infamous for
08:28 their experimentation. They're just a perfect vessel, not only for the classic chocolate
08:32 cookie/cream combo, but for all sorts of wild concoctions.
08:36 "We'll work on your farm."
08:43 Oreos have basically become the kings of the stunt food world, with everything from fruity
08:48 pebble-flavored Oreos and cherry cola iterations to key lime pie and kettle corn. Sure, not every
08:54 swing was a home run, but we admire the initiative and the willingness to fail. One thing's for sure,
08:59 though. A traditional Oreo cookie is a sure thing, each and every time.
09:04 Do you have an idea for a crazy Oreo cookie? Let us know in the comments.
09:15 "What are you doing?"
09:16 "I'm licking the cream off these Oreo cookies."
09:19 "Well, stop doing it. You're wasting the best part."
