Late-night cookie cravings hit hard, and Insomnia Cookies has been the midnight hero for sweet-toothed folks since 2003.
Their warm, gooey treats delivered until the wee hours have saved countless study sessions and midnight munchies. Wondering which cookie reigns supreme?
I’ve taste-tested every single option to bring you the definitive ranking from just okay to absolutely mind-blowing.
1. Oatmeal Raisin
Grandma’s favorite cookie lands at the bottom of our list. While perfectly acceptable for breakfast disguised as a healthy choice, the chewy oats and wrinkly raisins simply can’t compete with chocolate-laden alternatives.
Raisins, those controversial dried grapes, divide cookie enthusiasts everywhere. Would you believe some people actually request these over chocolate chips? Madness!
2. Sugar Cookie
Plain Jane of the cookie world takes the second-to-last spot. Though buttery and sweet with that signature crackled top, it lacks the excitement factor that makes you crave another bite.
What if I told you this cookie actually serves as the perfect canvas for ice cream sandwiches? However, on its own, the simplicity feels like a missed opportunity for flavor adventure.
3. Snickerdoodle
Cinnamon-sugar coating gives this cookie its signature sparkle, yet somehow falls short of greatness. The spicy-sweet combo offers a nice change from chocolate overload but doesn’t inspire the same devotion as top-tier contenders.
Ever wondered why they’re called snickerdoodles? The quirky name might be Dutch in origin, adding personality points to an otherwise middle-of-the-road treat!
4. Double Chocolate Mint
Toothpaste meets dessert in this polarizing creation! The mint chocolate combination divides cookie enthusiasts into passionate camps – you either worship or despise this dental-fresh flavor profile.
Though the chocolate base delivers rich cocoa goodness, the mint chips can overwhelm sensitive palates. For those who enjoy After Eight mints, this cookie might climb several spots higher on your personal ranking.
5. M&M Cookie
Childhood nostalgia in cookie form! Those candy-coated chocolates add bursts of color and sweetness, though they sometimes taste waxy compared to high-quality chocolate chips.
Rainbow polka dots make this treat Instagram-worthy, but taste-wise? It’s playing in the minor leagues compared to Insomnia’s more sophisticated offerings. Still, who can resist that playful appearance?
6. White Chocolate Macadamia
Luxurious macadamia nuts don’t come cheap, making this cookie feel somewhat fancy. Buttery nuts paired with creamy white chocolate morsels create textural magic, though sometimes the sweetness overwhelms.
Macadamias, those buttery little nuggets of heaven, deserve better than the occasional burnt edge! When perfectly baked, this cookie could easily jump several spots in the ranking.
7. Peanut Butter
Nutty richness dominates this dense, fork-marked classic. The unmistakable aroma transports you straight to childhood lunch boxes, though the drier texture lands it squarely in mid-ranking territory.
Allergy sufferers beware! This cookie comes with a side of danger for some folks. Despite its devoted fan base, the sometimes-chalky finish keeps it from cracking the top tier.
8. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup
Reese’s lovers, rejoice! This cookie combines the best of both worlds – chocolate cookie base with peanut butter cup chunks throughout. When fresh, molten peanut butter pockets create pure magic.
Alas, timing matters tremendously! If delivered too cool, those once-gooey PB centers solidify into waxy disappointments. The potential greatness keeps this cookie firmly in the middle of our ranking.
9. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip
Identity crisis in cookie form! Is it trying to be healthy with those wholesome oats? Or decadent with chocolate chips? The confusion somehow works in its favor.
Chewy texture fanatics particularly appreciate this option. Though not quite reaching cookie stardom, it satisfies both your inner child and the adult who pretends to care about fiber intake. Share your thoughts about this conflicted cookie!
10. S’mores
Campfire vibes without the mosquito bites! Graham cracker pieces, chocolate chunks, and marshmallow bits attempt to recreate summer nostalgia in cookie form.
Though ambitious in concept, the execution sometimes falls short – those marshmallow pieces often disappear during baking! When you do get a perfect bite with all components, it’s pure magic that belongs much higher on this list.
11. Vegan Chocolate Chunk
Plant-based perfection? Almost! This dairy-free delight surprises skeptics with its remarkably authentic taste and texture. No one would guess it lacks butter and eggs!
Slightly denser than its conventional counterpart, this ethical option still delivers chocolatey satisfaction. Vegans rejoice – you’re not settling for second-best with this impressive alternative that rivals traditional recipes.
12. Double Chocolate Chunk
Chocolate overload in the best possible way! Both the dough and add-ins scream cocoa goodness, creating an intensely rich experience that demands a tall glass of milk.
Chocoholics consider this their holy grail cookie. The contrast between the slightly bitter cookie base and sweet chocolate chunks creates complexity that keeps you coming back for more. Not for the faint of heart!
13. Peanut Butter Chip
Peanut butter inception! Unlike its fork-marked cousin, this creation features a traditional cookie base studded with peanut butter chips for flavor depth that keeps you guessing.
Though less intense than pure peanut butter cookies, the balanced approach wins over those who find straight PB overwhelming. The textural contrast between chewy cookie and smooth chips elevates this to near-elite status.
14. Triple Chocolate
Chocolate trinity – milk, dark, and white chips unite in one indulgent cookie! This trifecta creates flavor complexity that single-chocolate cookies can only dream about.
Texture perfection with a slightly crisp edge and gooey center makes this a late-night favorite. The varied chocolate types provide different melting points, ensuring each bite delivers a unique experience. Chocolate lovers, have you tried this masterpiece?
15. Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip
Celiac sufferers, celebrate! This allergy-friendly option defies the stereotype of sad, gritty gluten-free baked goods. Most tasters can’t distinguish it from the wheat-based original!
Slightly more delicate in texture, this cookie still delivers that classic chocolate chip experience. The kitchen wizards at Insomnia deserve applause for creating an inclusive option that doesn’t sacrifice flavor or that essential gooey center.
16. Confetti Deluxe
Birthday party vibes in every bite! This celebration in cookie form comes loaded with colorful sprinkles that add both visual appeal and textural crunch.
Beyond mere novelty, the vanilla-forward base provides the perfect canvas for those rainbow jimmies. Pure joy in edible form, this cookie somehow tastes exactly like childhood happiness. Perfect for brightening even the gloomiest study session!
17. Chocolate Chunk
Sometimes classics earn their status! This straightforward cookie nails the fundamentals – buttery dough, generous chocolate chunks, and that perfect chewy-to-crisp ratio that defines cookie excellence.
Nothing fancy here, just pure, unadulterated cookie perfection. The high-quality chocolate chunks (not mere chips!) melt into gorgeous puddles that reheat beautifully even the next day. Cookie connoisseurs appreciate this no-gimmicks approach!
18. Deluxe Filled Chocolate Chunk
Cookie inception! This mind-blowing creation features a chocolate chunk cookie stuffed with MORE cookie dough inside. The textural contrast between baked exterior and gooey center creates pure magic.
Weighing nearly twice as much as standard offerings, this heavyweight champion satisfies even the most intense cookie cravings. The innovation alone earns this newcomer a spot in the elite tier of Insomnia’s lineup.
19. Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl
Hypnotic swirls of chocolate and peanut butter doughs create edible art that tastes even better than it looks! The marbled effect ensures every bite delivers different flavor ratios.
Reese’s fans consider this the ultimate expression of the iconic flavor combo. Unlike cookies with mere PB chips, the integrated doughs create harmony that elevates this creation to near-legendary status. Have you experienced this swirled sensation?
20. Chocolate Chip
Behold the champion! This seemingly simple creation represents cookie perfection – crisp edges, chewy center, balanced sweetness, and melty chocolate morsels distributed with mathematical precision.
Insomnia’s version outshines competitors with its ideal thickness and generous chip-to-dough ratio. When delivered warm (as it should be), this classic transcends mere dessert status to become a spiritual experience. The undisputed king deserves its crown!
