Reece's Cups
This one is for the people who think they don't have time to bake (but don't want to bring "bakery bought goods") Makes 2 dozen cookies (in less than 15 minutes!)
Ingredients:
1 package of ready made chocolate chip cookie dough (my cousin also uses the peanut butter cookie dough - you choose!)
1 bag of Reeses peanut butter cups (put in the freezer)
You will need a mini-muffin tin.
Divide the cookie dough evenly and place in the mini muffin tin cups. Bake at 350 for approx. 5 minutes or until the top starts to get brown. Place the unwrapped, frozen Reeses in each cup. Bake for another 3-5 minutes until done. Remove when cool. Enjoy!

Seven Layer Cookie
A baked cookie but no flour involved - truly devine!
1 stick butter
1+ cup Graham Cracker crumbs
1 bag Chocolate chips
1 bag Butterscotch chips
1 can Eagle Brand Condensed milk
1 bag nuts (we use walnuts but whatever you are fond of)
1 bag/can coconut flakes
Use 11x13 Pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees - Place stick of butter on pan and set in oven to melt ( watch it so it doesn't burn ). Once melted , pour Graham crumbs over butter till covered and this give you the bottom layers. Make sure all butter is covered so use extra if necessary or little less also. Next add chips - both Chocolate and Butterscotch. Then add coconut and nut. Cover with condensed milk (stay away from edges with milk - it tends to burn and stick) and put back in over. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes depending on oven. Let cool and cut into squares or cut out with cookie cutter. Enjoy! Merry X-mas

Norman Rockwell's Oatmeal Wafers
These are large, thin wafers tat are crisp, crunchy and fragile. They are a favorite of Norman Rockwell, the great illustrator of Americana.
1/2 c. sifted all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 pound butter
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tblsp. water (measure carefully)
1 egg
1 c. old fashioned oatmeal
3/4 c. walnuts chopped medium fine
preheat oven to 350, Cut aluminum foil to fit cookie sheets. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda, and then set aside. In a small bowl cream butter with electric mixer. Gradually add both sugars and beat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla, water, and egg and beat well. On low speed gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula and beating only until smooth. Stir in the oatmeal and nuts. Use a rounded Tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place them 3 to 4 inches apart on the foil. With the back of a wet spoon, flatten each cookie until it's 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Bake for 13 minutes or until evenly browned. These must be timed carefully; if underbaked bottoms will be wet and sticky and difficult to remove from the foil. If overbaked they will taste burnt and bitter. Slide foil with cookies off baking sheet and let cool. Then carefully and gently peal the foil from the cookies. The cookie bottoms will look like they are glass coated and smooth. Turn them upside down on a cookie rack to cool5 to 10 minutes and ten store airtight. These cookies I only make in the fall and winter. If it is humid out it will take away the delicate crispness. Believe me I know they sound like a pain to make but are so worthwhile trying. They are our absolute favorite cookie not only for the mouthwatering taste but for the wonderful textures. Give them a try I bet you will have a new favorite too. P>S> If you do overbake them I find I kind of like that flavor, and if underbaked they won't release from foil just stick back in the oven for a minute or two and try again. Enjoy

Let melt and then swirl over cookie to create an icing. Let cool briefly and sprinkle with shavings of red mints. (if place shavings on top too soon they will melt)
Let set over night to let icing harden.
Robin - I found your site after I had mailed out invites for a cookie exchange (Land O'Lakes Butter had an ad in December Sunset Magazine with the idea). This will be my cookie. It is favorite of mine, since I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. You site has been very helpful in giving tips for hosting my upcoming party. - Connie Strouse

You'll change your mind about excluding these no bake cookies once you try them. They are always the first cookies to disappear off a plate. A little expensive, but awesome!

5 McIntosh Toffee Bars
3 tablespoons of cream
1/2 cups of coconut
3 cups of corn flakes
Mix bars and cream in double boiler or heavy pan. When melted add coconut and corn flakes. Drop by teaspoon onto wax paper. Let set, then butter hands and roll each cookie into a ball. These freeze well. Store with wax paper in between each layer.

Ann Hodgman's Honest to God, the Best Peanut Butter Cookies I Swear
(Ann's title, from her book "One Bite Won't Kill You.")2 cups creamy Skippy's peanut butter (regular, not reduced fat)
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets or cover with parchment paper.
2. Beat peanut butter and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.
Beat in eggs and then baking soda, salt and vanilla.
3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
With tines of a fork, press cross hatches into the balls to flatten them.
4. Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, in middle of oven, for 10 minutes or until they are puffy and golden brown, or about 12 minutes for crisp cookies. (I like to make them crisp.) Let sit on cookie sheets for a couple of minutes; then transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.Happy baking, Sylvia Carter
