We know Twitter is a hotbed of opinions. We just never expected that a tweet about cookies could get so many people all hot and bothered.
It all started when a gentleman named Rex Chapman blew our minds and offended our sensibilities by tweeting that the GOAT cookie was…wait for it…oatmeal raisin.
What’s the GOAT cookie?
Trick question?
Oatmeal raisin. https://t.co/4rTaCvKERy

Oh, hell, no.
Sorry, sir, this simply cannot stand. We had to call him out.
Well you had a nice run. https://t.co/fER1dAcLgC

A couple of other dudes chimed in with their personal rankings:
Tollhouse chocolate chip , followed by peanut butter, ginger cookies, and snickerdoodles.

Exactly how disrespectful to the snickerdoodle, the best cookie ever!

So we took it upon ourselves to set the record straight. These are the best cookies, ranked!

Best Cookies Twitter
-
10. Shortbread
Why bother eating cookies if they're bland? We might reconsider bumping shortbread up if you added funfetti, like this baker did.
-
9. Sugar
There is such a thing as too sweet, which is why sugar cookies, while satisfyingly soft, are near the bottom of this list.
-
8. Oatmeal Raisin
Stop trying to sneak breakfast food and fruit into our cookie and pretending it's a treat.

-
7. Snickerdoodle
This cinnamon-sugar cookie has the tiniest bit of tang, which always surprises and delights our taste buds.
-
6. Gingersnaps
Kick your cookie up a notch with this slightly spicy but still chewy variety.

5. Peanut Butter
The only thing we like better than a big ol' spoon of peanut butter is peanut butter in cookie form. Those little fork marks filled with sprinkled sugar make our mouths water.
-
4. Black and White
Jerry Seinfeld said it best: "Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate." We'll take a baker's dozen, please.
-
3. Peanut Butter Blossoms
Particularly prevalent around the holidays, these soft peanut butter cookies topped with a Hershey's kiss make us as happy as a kid on Christmas morning all year 'round.
-
2. M&M
Amazing things happen when you bake M&M's in cookies. Specifically, you get the crispy shell of the candy that gives way to delicious, melty chocolate inside.

1. Chocolate Chip
It's a classic for a reason and really the only cookie you need. Stop trying to fuck with perfection.
