Chef and author Ina Garten has an elevated yet approachable style when it comes to cooking, and her favorite store-bought cookies are simple, delicious, and perfectly on brand.

In her cookbook "How Easy Is That?" Garten declared her love for Tate's Bake Shop cookies. She singled out the chocolate chip cookies which she uses in her mocha chocolate icebox cake.
