Cakes and cookies are the most common form of desserts. But not everyone enjoys both, or would prefer one over the other. Which do you choose? Why?

This is a difficult choice! Maybe cakes will have a percentage over cookies, or maybe only half!

I'll vote on the cake side to help even it out, but I love both. Cookies are much easier to transport.

I enjoy both but probably come down on a cake when possible. But I don't really eat a lot of deserts and never make them. :)

Cookies

Both are good, but I THINK I may like cookies best. They keep a bit better when only one is eating them, lole at our house.

I would have to say cookies. I'm always on the go, and cake is too messy to take along for the ride! lol

I like both, but if I have to choose, in most cases a good chocolate chip cookie does it for me!

I don't need a plate or fork for cookies and I can dip them in my coffee or milk.

- Had to come back and tell you they turned out amazing. I brought them to work as a birthday treat and they were devoured. I found that they were best a little underdone. My husband kept telling me they didn't look done and the one batch I let him sway me to let them go longer wasn't nearly as yummy. They did almost look raw coming out of the oven but they set up while cooling.

- Honestly, I probably won't. Not a good idea at our house, were there are only two, and one is diabetic. We don't even keep sugar in the house.
