After that, Chips Ahoy and Nestle Tollhouse were selected as favorites. People listed Famous Amos and Mrs. Fields near the middle of the pack. And Fig Newtons and Keebler cookies were most likely to be placed lower than the other brands.
Cookie Habits
53% of respondents said that cookies are one of their favorite food groups. 61% said that they normally buy the same type and brand of cookies on a regular basis.
