Banana bread is good with chocolate chips too
One of my favorite recipes from mama is for banana chocolate chip cookies. (This isn't necessarily an unpopular opinion, just a comment. That they're a soft (cake/quickbread-like) cookie might be unpopular, though. Or that the original recipe called for lard. 😆)
Growing up whenever I would make banana bread I would purposely undercook the center and eat it with a spoon haha2 -
When we had a work cookie exchange for the holidays I would usually make snickerdoodles, but that's not really a Christmas cookie, just a cookie I like.1

I think I'm smelling a new post devoted just to this one topic!
However, I'm not sure I can answer this...I love too many holiday cookies equally in their own unique way 🤷♀️0 -
I'm not mostly a fan of the majority of traditional Christmas cookies (the frosted sugar cookies and such). They look nice, but tend to be Just Sweet, not that interesting. An old family friend used to make a kind of frosted sugar cookie with date filling, which was better.
If I were making, I'd be making some normal cookie I like, such as real shortbread, macaroons, or the vaguely cookie-esque biscotti. I like making macaroons, because for some reason people seem to think they're fancy, but they're one of the easiest things to make; and I have a recipe that (maybe blurring the macaroon/macaron border a bit) includes marzipan (I love marzipan).
I do like Springerle, though, which is sometimes considered Christmas-y. Because they're anise-flavored, that's possibly an unpopular opinon.1 -

I'd rather have chocolate , peanut butter or toffee chips than nuts, except macadamia Ilove fudge, expecially maple! I do not like banana nut bread- or banana muffins, anything banana except bananas themslves
Zucchini bread > banana nut bread
Toffee and butterscotch blondies > regular brownies

I don't think this is unpopular, but I love macarons. I used to live next to a French-style bakery, and it was way too tempting to go there on the weekend and buy some (they'd have different flavors each time).
I like zucchini bread a lot, but pretty much the same amount as banana bread.1 -

I use to make an oatmeal short bread cookie shaped like trees with green sour-cream frosting with dots of regular frosting for Christmas lights. they were not as sweet.
I love macaroons2 -
"Gourmet" grilled cheese sandwiches are overrated. Gimme a american cheese slice grilled cheese with ketchup any day2

That's an interesting one: I've had grilled cheese with tomato; have never even thought of using ketchup. Wouldn't the sweetness clash with the cheese a little? Maybe?0 -
Something about “smoothies” disgusts me. Totally irrational because I’ve never had one, but yuck! I think it is because they contain stuff that doesn’t go together, in my mind.0

I LOVE ALL the cookies, except macarons. Just can’t.0

I hate macaroons, but love macarons.
That one "o" makes a HUGE difference.2 -

I love macaroons (though almond more than coconut, but *good* coconut ones are awesome). Maybe I just haven't had a good macaron yet (decent odds, so I'll keep trying), but the ones I've had so far have been pretty meh.
Until I see the light, we could buddy up, and divide with macaroons to me, macarons to you, maybe?1 -

That’s a deal! I’m just not a coconut fan.2 -
I've had some macaroons that are way way too sweet - ick. Other (less sickly sweet) are ok - I could pass though.
Really quite like macarons - yum1 -

I think macaroons are eh, and also love macarons.0 -

I don't like gourmet grilled cheese (correction, I'm sure I'd like them fine, but when they are on offer there's always something more interesting I want to order), but think the best cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches made at home is obviously swiss cheese.
I hate peppermint bark.1 -

Love pizza and love cashews, but the combo sounds too, too something.

Me too! They look roasted and I feel like I'd find them delicious and crunchy on pizza.0 -

So I need to avoid it completely. People sometimes add MSG to their cooking, especially asian food, which is too bad for me.
You do know MSG occurs naturally in many food items right?
Yes, I know it occurs naturally in many foods. For example, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, soy extracts, and protein isolate, as well as in tomatoes and cheeses. So I have cut out tomatoes and all dairy, and never have soy sauce or foods with any kind of yeast in the indgredients. Since I am on keto, I don't eat bread, which really helps! I also feel nauseous after soy sauce just like things with added MSG.0 -
