8 Quick Cookies Anyone Can Make

These cookies know you’d rather be playing. Or napping. Or be anything but tied to the kitchen making cookies. Here’s how quick and easy they are to make:

* You can count their ingredients on one hand.
* Prep is quick and minimal.
* They take up one pan. One and done. Gotta love that.

Bonus: They’re nice enough for potlucks, parties, and picnics. And easy enough for everyday snacking. Let’s meet them.
