Cheaper by the Dozen...

I TOTALLY LOVE an easy cookie recipe! I'm talking 5 ingredients or less and a 10 minutes cook time. It just means you can get that goodness in you that much faster!!! Well- here it is. A super speedy cookie recipe! I whipped the whole thing up from start to finish in under 15 minutes! How cool is that! (The girls loved rolling out the balls- very kid friendly!) I also want to note that it made a perfect 2 dozen. I feel like any recipe that makes exact dozens deserves an award. Something about that just delights me- I'm not a cookie dough eater, so I never know what to do with the "potentially" 5 more cookies that I can't squeeze on the sheet, but don't want to dirty another one for. :) So hooray for the dozen! (Also wanted to add that they figured this was about $.07 a serving. Cheap treats!)
