If you've ever made chocolate chip cookies, those are drop cookies. There are actually a number of different categories of cookies like bar cookies, refrigerator cookies, pressed cookies, rolled cookies, sandwich cookies, fried cookies, and no-bake cookies. Drop cookies are characterized by scoopable dough that you can spoon generous tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet and pop into the oven. Even if you use a cookie scoop or disher, they're still considered drop cookies.
