My friend and I are getting together soon for our annual Christmas cookie-baking day. Does anyone have any great suggestions on some easy-yummy cookies we could try to bake? Simple is best!
Thanks!

Sugar Cookies
11/2 cup Butter
2 Cups White Sugar
4 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
5 cups All Purpose Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, Baking powder, and salt. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Rollout to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into your favorite shapes. Place cookies 1 inch apart. Bake 6 to 8 minutes. Do not cook any longer then 8 minutes. The cookies are really soft and really tastefull. I have made these several times and they are a hit with my family.
You can also decorate with icing.

If you buy Crisco Butter flavored shortening in sticks, there is a wonderful sugar cookie recipe on the packaging. Make the cookies thick, don't overbake, and you will have soft cookies that stay fresh for up to two weeks (there's no butter to go rancid).
Ever since I discovered Crisco butter flavor (20 years ago), I do not use regular butter for baking.

I love the chocolate oatmeal drop cookies...NO BAKE!
Melt some chocolate and butter and sugar, mix in oats...
drop spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and let cool
Cookies harden as they cool
YUMMY!
