3 INGREDIENT CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Steps:

• 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place parchment paper sheets on two cookie pans.2.Place cookie dough on baking sheet, I was able to get 12 on each cookie pan.3.Bake for about 11 - 12 minutes, take out of oven and place Kiss on the middle of each cookie. Put back in the oven for another 1 - 2 minutes. Make sure the Kiss does not get too soft. Try not to over bake the cookies. If they look too raw before you put the Kiss on, place back in the oven for 1 or 2 more minutes then, take out and place the Kiss on then. When they are out of the oven, quickly place the M&M candies to decorate. Let set up at room temperature or place in fridge for just a couple of minutes. That's it, you're done, fast and fun!

EASY TURTLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven according to cookie package directions. Bake cookies on parchment or silpat lined baking sheets according to package directions.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes and then press a turtle candy into the center of each cookie. Let cool 3 minutes and then remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. (Cool completely, about 30 minutes.)
• Once cooled, place the chocolate chips (and shortening if desired; makes it a little easier to drizzle) in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between each burst for 10 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Spoon the melted chocolate in a drizzle over each cookie.
• Allow to set up at room temperature.
• Best enjoyed within 2-3 days.

3-INGREDIENT SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with spoon until well mixed. Stir in flour until moistened, using hands to mix if needed (dough will be crumbly). Knead 5 to 10 times or until dough is smooth.
• Divide dough in half; shape each half into a log, 5 inches long by 2 inches in diameter.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the nonpareils or decorating sugar on plastic wrap; roll one log in nonpareils to cover. Repeat to cover remaining cookie log in nonpareils. Wrap dough logs tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Unwrap 1 of the dough logs; cut into 1/2-inch slices. On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices 2 inches apart, reshaping if necessary.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Unwrap remaining dough log, and repeat slicing and baking. Cool completely, about 40 minutes.
• To make Powdered Sugar Icing Drizzle: In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of the milk until well blended. If too thick to drizzle, add additional milk, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Tint with food color. Drizzle over tops of cooled cookies. Sprinkle with nonpareils or decorating sugar. Let stand about 1 hour or until drizzle is set.
