(please ignore my son's avatar) Anyways, I am bringing about 2 dozen cookies for Christmas Eve this year. Does anyone have a good recipe for cookies I can make? Not too complicated, but then again, not just the basic chocolate chip.
Thanks and Happy holidays!

If you don't have the whole recipe, you can just give me the name of it.

I once offered to bring cookies to a family Christmas party, and then wasted a bunch of time doing everything but baking them. At the last minute I went to the grocery store, bought 3 bags of macaroons (chewy coconut cookies), and then dipped each cookie halfway into melted chocolate. Oh my gosh, I got three people asking me for the recipe! Huh? I was tempted to play it off like I was baking all afternoon, but I came clean.
They were super easy!
