Cookies rule. Even stale ones. Come on, like you wouldn't stuff your face with stale Chips Ahoy or Oreos if they were sitting there in front of you just staring you in the face. But yeah fresh-baked cookies right out of the oven are the closest any of us will probably ever come to nirvana (the state of mind, not the band). And if you're like me and can't bake anything without an EZ Bake Oven, then you should either call your mom up right now and tell her how much you miss her and her cookies... or else go order some online from a trusted cookie baker like Davids Cookies:

Cookie Bonus: If you have young kids, check out Mr. Cookie Baker by the very talented Monica Wellington. This delightful book with really cute pictures is one of my 4-year-old's favorites. We take it out of the library all the time. (Yeah, I really should suck it up and just buy the damn thing already shouldn't I?) It even includes 4 recipes in the back to make your own cookies. We made the chocolate chip ones and they really were a little different and super tasty.
