All time favorite holiday cookie/bar recipes?

Looking for delicious, easy-to-bake holiday cookies with inexpensive ingredients. I am baking-challenged.


No coconut, please

Betty Crocker Toffee Squares. No toffee in them, they're basically a brown sugar bar with chocolate on top (and nuts optionally) but the combined taste is vaguely toffeeish. I love these with chopped pecans on top!

Really? I tried those once and they were very difficult for me. And I consider myself a fairly decent baker.

I hope the poster comes back who shared a chocolate cookie recipe with an Andes mint melted on top. Looked luscious.

I tried them tonight (NP) and while they are good, they are very, very rich. I need some milk when eating them. Also made these:

I actually had to add a little water to each recipe -- the dough wasn't forming properly. Must be doing something wrong.

NP here. I just made these tonight, and YUM! The only problem is that they are small so it's too easy to eat too many. I loved how easy they were to make: one pot, two bowls, and a wooden spoon. No mixer required!
