Kids have a snow day today and I'm wanting to make Christmas cookies!!

Any yummy, easy recipes out there? And by easy, I mean with few ingredients? We are snowed in and can't get to store for supplies

Thanks!!

I'm interested in this as well. I have used this receipe in the past, but as tasty as the kids find it - it seems to be missing something... I even tried more vanilla and adding in caradmon, but still not perfect.

I'd love an easy one too, and one that I can drop not roll out and cut.

Here's the easist one in my cookie recipe box. No chilling, no rolling out

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 tsp. of baking powder
1 cup butter or margerine, softened
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder. Set aside

In big bowl beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mix.
Roll round teaspoon of dough into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8 - 10 minutes until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.

You can add small candy, small M&M's to this mix if you want but it is sweet so totally not necessary.

Thanks for the reminder that I need to find my sugar cookie recipe. I like cookies that are super soft, not crispy. I found a recipe last year at allrecipes I'm pretty sure that has cream cheese and they stay super soft. Maybe I'll get to them this week...
