Easy Holiday Cookie Treats?
To be perfectly honest, when the idleguy.com experimental kitchen came up with the idea for Christmas cookie recipes so easy guys could make them, we were skeptical.
Turns out, we were pretty much right. While some of these recipes might carry a “don’t try this at home” warning for most guys, best advice is to find somebody who actually knows a thing or two about baking, like your sister, mother, or, if you’re really lucky, your girlfriend or wife.
Making cookies is serious stuff and you don’t really want to embarrass yourself, do you. You might be better off spending a few bucks at a local bakery, but here are some ideas, anyway.
Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies - Combine the flavors of cocoa, chocolate, cinnamon, marshmallows, chili powder, and cayenne pepper for a taste of chewy hot chocolate without the fuss. (The Real Food Dietitians)

Cinnamon Roll Cookies With Cream Cheese Frosting - From Kathryn’s Kitchen Blog, these taste just like cinnamon rolls in a soft and chewy cookie, made with a buttery cookie dough base, filled with pockets of cinnamon, and topped with a cream cheese frosting.
Marbled Shortbread Cookies - With a buttery cookie base, sweet coffee caramel, and luscious chocolate top layer, these Marbled Shortbread Cookies are a household favorite at Sanna’s place, the originator at Woman Scribbles.
Oreo Ornament Cookies - This super easy, no-bake recipe from Kathryn’s Kitchen Blog makes delicious treats using one of America’s favorite cookie: Oreos. Oreo cookies are dipped in melted chocolate and then decorated with more chocolate, festive sprinkles and a Rolo candy on top to look like a pretty ornament ready to hang… off the roof of your mouth.
Cardamom Butter Cookies - Pink Owl Kitchen brings cardamom into play with these delicate treats. Cardamom is a complex spice with herby, fruity, minty, and spicy notes and lends itself beautifully to these subtly sweet, buttery cookies.

BUTTERY TOFFEE WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES - Finally, here’s Julie again from Lovely Little Kitchen with these savory, sweet and salty balanced cookies with toffee chips and butter flavoring that make them extra rich and indulgent.
