Ditto, you're not fooling anyone.

who would bring cookies made out of cookie dough from the sore. Might as well just bring a bag or oreos.


You would be surprised.

I can't access the recipe right now, but Google "spider cookies". Melted choc chips, butterscotch chips, and chow mein noodles. No baking. Delish and usually different than anything else there.

It's important that they not be too thick. You can do them as jam thumbprints or with cherries in the center as well as in a press.


Thanks!

Those seven layer bars are always good and so easy. Make two pans and that should cover it. Also could try buckeyes, those are popular and kinda easy, just a lot of rolling and dipping and cooling.

I make peanut butter cookies and put a Hershey kiss in the middle. Whipped shortbread sounds good. Would love the recipe.

Whipped shortbread. Works great in a cookie press so it saves a ton of time but it is delicious. I decorate with sugar and sprinkles.

My FAVORITE Holiday cookies are Betty Crocker Toffee Squares. (They do not have toffee in them, but the flavor combo of brown sugar + chocolate is reminiscent of toffee.)

This shows them more as "bars" but I don't use the glass pan they recommend- I spread mine on a greased cookie sheet so they are thinner than these "bars" and are more like cookies. Delicious- and easy to make 5 dozen because a single cookie sheet makes probably 2 dozen alone.

This is the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted and it is a simple recipe to boot.
Happy cookie baking. My kid and hubby go bonkers when I make these!
