How the Cookie Types bracket works
Cookie tier list without dragging anything into rows. You get one matchup at a time — Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin? Snickerdoodle or Peanut Butter? — and after 15 picks the bracket has a champion, with everything else placed by how far it got. By the end you have ranked all 16 without ever having to look at more than two at a time.
This bracket runs 4 rounds at the default 16-slot size (Round of 16, Elite 8, Final Four, Championship), with every one of the 16 choices in the field. Because the draw is shuffled, two people playing the same bracket rarely face the same matchups. You can also play it at 8 slots for a shorter or longer run.

Cookie Types bracket FAQ
How many choices are in the Cookie Types bracket?
The pool holds 16 choices. A default run puts all of them in the draw and takes 15 picks across 4 rounds: Round of 16, Elite 8, Final Four, Championship. Other field sizes are available too — 8, 16 slots.
Which choices are included?
Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter, Sugar Cookie, Double Chocolate, Macaron, Shortbread, White Chocolate Macadamia, Gingerbread, Oreo and Biscotti, plus 4 more. Every entrant is listed further down this page with its artwork.
How long does the cookie tier list take?
About 1-2 minutes — 15 choices at the default size, or 7 if you drop to a 8-slot bracket. No account is needed, and you can abandon a run at any point without losing anything.
Can I turn the result into S/A/B tiers?
Both are here, and the bracket is closer to a tier list than it looks. It ends with a champion, a runner-up and then every other choice grouped by the round it went out in — which is exactly a set of tiers, decided by 15 direct comparisons rather than by your first guess at a layout. What it deliberately does not do is claim a precise gap between two choices that never met. If you would rather place the choices into S through F rows yourself, the tier list maker loads all 16 of them at bracketranker.com/tier-list-maker.
Can I compare my order with other people's?
Every completed bracket feeds the Cookie Types community results page, which aggregates win rates across all plays and tracks how often each of the 16 entrants takes the title. It updates continuously, so it moves as more people play.
What if a choice I wanted is missing?
Use the bracket maker: add your own choices, name it, and share the link so other people play the same field. That is the route to take when this pool of 16 is missing something you would have picked, or when you want a version scoped to one era, label or franchise.
