Whether you need a treat in a flash, or your cupboards are running bare, these easy cookie recipes are perfect! Tasty, delicious, and easy – what more could you want?!

We Love Easy!

We LOVE having easy recipes handy because cookies are a go-to treat in our home.

Cookies are always a good idea, especially when they whip up in less than 20 minutes! They also freeze well and are perfect for saving for later – a BIG win. Enjoy them with a glass of cold milk, or ice cream smooshed in the middle (please tell me you’ve tried that).

There’s something for everyone – enjoy all of these flavor varieties!!

    I can’t seem to save the recipes to my Pinterest board. I’ve tried numerous times and on other days, but it just won’t save it.

    I was going through your list and I’m not sure if I’m happy to say that I’ve made several of the cookie recipes or not.😋 My taste buds say yes. My waist line not so much. Of the ones I’ve made the recipes have been easy to follow and most have been made several times.

  3. Olivia says:
