    What's the easiest way to bake cookies? It's to NOT bake them at all. This easy recipe allows you to make these cookies quickly and as they sit up, other chores can be done. 
    One of the girls at work brought in these sweet little delights for a potluck lunch. It was such a nice, simple treat. With so many people grabbing these for snacks, sharing just seemed like the right thing.
