[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Next time you’re in a bind, consider making rice krispy treats. I know technically they aren’t a cookie but I consider them cookie adjacent. And you can assemble a batch in 5 minutes. [/quote]
They’re a fine substitute for cookies as a dessert. They’re not okay for a cookie exchange, except maybe if you decorated them individually in an especially adorable way. [/quote]

Why not? Genuine question. I’ve never done a cookie exchange. [/quote]
It’s like showing up at a fancy dinner party with a bag of Lays potato chips as your hostess gift. Something that’s perfectly fine for you to eat at home, but not elevated enough for a special occasion. A lot of Christmas cookies require extra effort. They’re special because they’re not baked goods you make the rest of the year. They’re doughs that you have to chill before handling or they’ve got an expensive nut filling or you’re taking the time to roll, cut, decorate them individually. I’ll eat Oreos, but if I’ve spent a long time mixing, rolling out, cutting, baking and decorating adorable gingerbread men, I’m not going to want to trade them for Oreos.[/quote]
