Is there a cookie I can make that's easy?
I've never made cookies. I don't own a mixer. Is there an easy, simple cookie I can make for B's cookie swap that doesn't require me to be a baker?

Re: Is there a cookie I can make that's easy?
Honestly? Just buy some Break 'n Bakes or a tube/tub of premade dough. The kids will never know.
If you want to do the made-from-scratch thing, Chocolate No-Bake cookies are easy/good.....butter/cocoa/PB, sugar melted, then add oats.

mh even makes these himself and he's definitely NOT a baker!
Jetta, I'd do that but they want us to include a recipe and I don't want to "cheat". Brooke is all into it!
Kap, that looks perfect...except no peanut products allowed.
Yes, absolutely. I skip the mixer if I'm just making a single batch, and use my hand beater or the whisk attachment on my hand blender. If you don't have either, you can still do it with a whisk and a strong arm, if you run the butter through defrost for about 15 seconds to really soften it up. I've also completely melted the butter to mix the wet ingredients, and then chilled the dough afterwards to firm it back up, and it worked out fine.
Here is an easy one I've done in the past. You make the dough into a log, roll it in your coating of choice (or you can do mix-ins), chill then slice and bake it:

couldn't you substitute with a Sunbutter? or similar?
Someone provided this recipe to me. They were a huge hit!

Rory and I made these last night for her class, and am not a big cookie person, but I ate three of them! They are really soft, too.

ETA: While you're mixing them up, have B unwrap all the kisses. That kept Rory plenty busy!
Cookie bars...
Press store bought choc chip cookie dough into 9x13, cook 7 min. Pull out of ofven, top with several globs marshmallow puff. Cook 1 min, spread marshmallow around. Top with rice check and red and green m&m, cook a few more minutes.
Crinkle cookies (chocolate cookies with powdered sugar, they are Betty Crocker, google them!)
Reindeers...
Shape sugar cookies into triangles and bake. Use choc covered pretzels for antlers, red M&M for nose, brown M&Ms for eyes. Use white frosting as glue.
OMG this is all too overwhelming!
LOL I think i'm going to keep her home tomorrow!
Don't laugh, but I buy that Betty Crocker mix that is in a bag (they have several different flavors from Peanut Butter to choc. chip and oatmeal). I get the peanut butter kind but add some chocolate chips to them! They are so good and don't taste like they were once a powdered mix in a bag. You still have to add some butter and eggs, so there is still some work involved!
Oops - Failed to see that you have to include the recipe. Guess my idea won't work!
