Is your holiday to-do list a mile long? Make this season a little more sane with our quick and clever Christmas cookies — so sensational, so plentiful (nearly 1,000 recipes) — it will look like you spent hours in the kitchen. Doctor already-prepared cookie dough, cake and brownie mixes or try baking up a pan of cookie bars with no rolling or shaping required. Skip waiting for the oven to heat up and create a batch of no-bake cookies or creamy-rich fudge. Browse through our cookies using five ingredients or less. These are pantry-friendly recipes so you can skip that trip to the store. Keep your sanity and bake up something simple yet spectacular.

Have made NO-Cook CHOCOLATE ECLAIR Squares by Karen and Chocolate Toffee Candy Cookies (Saltine Candy) by Girly_Girl_Lori most of my long! adult life. Both are easy, impressive, and :yummy:

I've been asked to make these for a "Cookie Exchange" - for the Holidays I will use the red, white & green sprinkles of course, but if you are looking for a simple, impressive, yummy cookie - please try: Rainbow Cake Mix Cookies - Aka Party-Cake Cookies Both kids & adults love them...

My Shortbread cookie recipe has 4 ingredients but wasn't included which is odd, definitely a Christmas classic. http://www.recipezaar.com/Grandmas-Shortbread-Cookies-329707

Kayla...the reason your cookies weren't in the 5 ing. search is b/c you didn't have them in the Christmas category. I've added them and they are now in that list.

Today I made all of my cookie doughs. Most of the recipes came from the great cooks here at Zaar. Since I am by myself, I make all my doughs ahead bag em, place in the refrigerator and then I will bake them all week. Thanks all of you who share their great cookie recipes. Happy Holidays to all.
