Not the ones in the link…they are as listed (from the original post I made…no cannoli-type fillings)
Right. But the bottom pic in your OG post shows cannoli.

Not according to the Reddit poster…they’re pecan florentines filled with Bailey’s Irish Cream-flavored whipped cream. And I’m terribly sorry for the confusion!

Gotcha. I’m tickled by the very first comment on his pic, tho: “sounds like an amazing cannoli.” (sic)

I just got a box of these housemade Oreo cookies from Cake Monkey.
Made with Mexican hot chocolate sandwich cookie wafers, and filled with vanilla buttercream.
This is some serious good stuff.

My current fave cookies are my own chocolate chips (a variation on the NYT recipe) w flaky salt, my own almond cookie recipe (a variation of the classic peanut butter cookie but w almond butter, chopped almonds, etc) and just a straight up shortbread, rolled into a log and chilled, then sliced into very thin discs before baking, and taking them what might be considered a touch too dark.
The cookie I miss most, for which Girl Scout Thin Mints or Keebler Grasshoppers will only ever be a pale substitute:
Salerno Mint Cremes, made by a Chicago area bakery that was bought, sold, absorbed, and finally killed off. sigh

These are apparently the next best thing to those Salerno cookies. Amazon doesn’t have them anymore. but this review from 2012 looks promising.

I’ve tried to find them, but mostly I’ve been unable to. But this site says they have them. I’ll leave it up to you to do further research.

Good luck!
Yes. I traced them down. Rippin Good bought a number of the Salerno products. Supposedly, they’ve been spotted in the wild as recently as 2021 in the northwest Chicago burbs and possibly in or around the Detroit metro area. But last I checked, I seem to remember that they’d been discontinued.
I might try hunting them down next time I go to visit mom.
Mint Tim Tams by Arnotts aren’t quite the same, but the texture is roughly similar and they will scratch the itch.

just got the last batch of dough — eight all together — into the fridge. all in plastic containers to bake off, then pack to share with friends — takes up less space with fewer chances for sampling.
as for favorites: the chocolate shortbread i perfected 30+ years ago (both cocoa and unsweetened chocolate); a salted chocolate chunk shortbread from the ny times; a panforte i adapted from a david lebovitz recipe and cut into small chunks —goes on the cookie tray, so counts.

They aren’t frosted, the topping occurs naturally.

Gribee (Lebanese pistachio shortbread). Picture below of some I made many years ago. I dislike rolling the dough then chilling it and cutting with a cookie cutter (too much work), so I roll the dough into logs, chill, then slice and bake. They don’t look so great, but taste great.

Crap, this time of year now reminds me that in my top three there are six cookies.
1 Chocolate chip with pecans
2 Oatmeal with raisins
3a Snickerdoodles
3b Baachan’s butter cookies (my grandmother’s recipe that I can only manage to replicate about every third try)
3c Gingerbread cookies (which I actually don’t like that much but Mrs. ricepad makes them at Christmas time and she loves them and I love that she loves them).
3d Whatever happens to be in the cookie jar at the moment.

in fourth place — and only non chocolate: chewy gingerbread cookies. had these years ago — took me years to find a recipe that matched my memory.
