First, I will be talking about fun chocolate chip cookie facts since it's a week about this cookie, before I name my top 3 types of cookies. The chocolate chip cookie is celebrated 2 more times beside on National Chocolate Chip Cookie Week, which is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on May 15th and August 4th. The reason it is celebrated twice in the year, because people argue on the day, when the person invented the day to celebrate chocolate chip cookies. Also, no one knows who created this holiday in the first place.
Ruth Wakefield was the inventor of chocolate chip cookies. She put it in her recipe book called, "Ruth Wakefield's Toll House, Tried and True Recipes," in 1937. Originally, the cookie was named Butterdrop Do Cookies, but Toll House liked the second name better and changed it to Chocolate Crunch Cookies. The owner of Toll House said the company invented the cookie and almost took credit for Ruth Wakefield's invention. The idea of the recipe could have been inspired by Kaufmann Candy in 1896 added chocolate chips in their candy. Also, for a long time until Ruth Wakefield debunked this theory, people thought she discovered chocolate chip cookies by accident. Last, there is an urban legend going around that Neiman Marcus invented the chocolate chip cookie.
Other fun facts about chocolate chip cookies are Ruth Wakefield for her invention was given a lifetime supply of chocolate by Nestle , because Nestle bought her cookie and wanted her to make her product for them in 1939. The world's largest chocolate chip cookie is 40,000 pounds and 102 feet wide made in Flat Rock, North Carolina in 2003 by Immaculate Baking Company.

Here's links below of the articles to learn more fun facts about the chocolate chip cookie. Now, what we were all waiting for my top 3 types of cookies.
3. Peanut Butter Cookies
The peanut butter cookie is one of my favorites, because peanut butter is one of those flavors that can go with any tasty treat. A cookie being infused with peanut butter is such a explosion in your mouth. I love that there is plenty of peanut butter in the cookie that every bite melts in your mouth. I think why it does melt in your mouth, because they make the peanut butter in the cookie very smooth and creamy. Then, the pattern of the cookie looking like a waffle is iconic as they are pressed down in the making process. The peanut butter dough is first made into a ball, put on a tray, and then using a fork creates the waffle shape cookie. I love that pattern, because it's a feature that is a trademark for only peanut butter cookies. Also, it does remind a person that they're eating peanuts, because the cookie has the same waffle pattern as the peanut.
2. Half Chocolate-Half Chocolate Chip Cookies
The half chocolate-half chocolate chip cookie, I think is better than the peanut butter cookie, because it combines two United States elements of their iconic cookies, which is the chocolate of a black and white cookie and the chocolate chip of a chocolate chip cookie. I love it like how I love Multi-Grain Cheerios, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheerios in my previous blog. The idea of taking two flavors and putting it in one treat is fun to taste. It's not boring biting into a cookie that has the same taste over and over. The half chocolate-half chocolate chip cookie has something different than other cookies, because it's like two cookies in one. The first half, a person gets to enjoy half of a classic chocolate chip cookie, and the other half is a pure chocolate cookie. The cookie gets better and better, because each bite has more chocolate than the previous bite.
