About This Quiz

One of the best gifts we were given on this earth is food, and there's nothing more decadent or indulgent than dessert. These foods are sweet, rich, melt in your mouth and have the power to make you feel better if you're not in the best of moods. Today, we'd like to zoom in one kind of dessert- the one that is incredibly easy to make, and yet we still go out and buy them, whether it be from the supermarket or the adorable Girl Scouts who knock on our doors -- cookies. 

We've gathered a bunch of them for you to identify, using the pictures that we'll show you, along with a hint that we'll give you, instead of our regular questions. That's right! We're going Jeopardy-style with this cookie quiz and we're curious to find out how you'd do. Will you mistake a chocolate chip cookie for a sugar one, or will you think the oatmeal raisin ones are macadamia nut?

It's time to put your cookie skills to the test in this quiz. Will you be the chief cookie connoisseur by the end, or should you just stick to cake? Let's find out!
