Every year I make at least 10 different kinds of cookies to give out to our closest friends. Time is very limited this year so I need some fresh new ideas for quick and easy cookies or candies. Thanks in advance for all your great suggestions!

What can I do next?

They are all very easy but the one with the most variety in taste are the Caramel Heavenlies. You may already do this but...clean up is so much easier with all these cookies if you use parchment paper. All these are so good! Have fun!

Just like the pretzel with the rolo but instead a Hershey kiss. And, then you can use different Hershey kisses for variety too. This is VERY easy and would make a great filler!

Hi,
I received an e-mail that has all these great candy recipes. I haven't tried them yet, but they sound delicious and seem pretty easy. I don't have a link so I'd have to send you the e-mail directly...if you give me your e-mail I'll happily send it to you. :)

If you are willing to give a non cookie, then you could try chocolate covered pretzels or nuts. All you need is chocolate or white almond bark (sold cheapest at Walmart) melt it in a large glass bowl/measuring cup in the microwave, stirring throughout, when all melted add walnuts, peanuts, almonds, etc.. to melted chocolate then spoon small "piles" on wax paper to harden. It takes around 30 mins. to harden. Same thing with pretzels just do a few at a time. While "wet" you can sprinkle sprinkles on the pretzels for a holiday look. you could also make scotcharoos. Just Google the name and you should get the recipe. It is a nice twist on the traditional rice crispy treat. you could also make rice crispy wreaths, but instead of rice crispies use corn flakes, die the marshmallows green and shape in wreath shapes. Then add cinnamon hots as holly berries. Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!

One non cookie is the grid like pretzels with a rolo on top melt in oven than smoosh another pretzel on top. My family loves them.

A cookie idea, geat a tube of the sugar cookie batter cut and than make Christmas trees on them with green and red m&ms. Cook according to tube.

Have Fun!

try the peanut butter hershey kisses, it's like 1 cup sugar, 1 cup peanut butter, 2 cups flour and hershey kisses, bake for 10 mins or something like that. google it, it's easy and you can make 3 dozen on one cookie sheet. rum balls are also pretty easy, no-cook.
