I’m going to give away a secret here so listen up.
For years I couldn’t bake a decent cookie to save my life.. and believe me it wasn’t for lack of trying. No matter what recipe I tried, no matter what miracle pan I used they either came out of the oven a gooey sugar filled mess or something resembling a hockey puck.
And then…
.
.
Then I found them. The absolutely easiest, most perfect, even River can’t screw them up cookies.
Four ingredients. Four minutes prep and viola!
.
.
Sublime every time. Trust me, those are soft baked little circles of heaven right there. And because I live to spread joy…. I’ll share.

So far I have made lemon, chocolate, strawberry, spice, orange and butter pecan. And they were all fabulous, no hockey stick required. I’ve even started branching out by adding flavor extracts to the plain yellow mix … last night, almond.
Take that Mrs. Fields!
.
River's world..... 
uh oh.

Love it! Most things I cook are a little complex, but not cookies. I use the same basic recipe with modifications for different flavors, like you do. The cookies in your post about your husband and his pool shooting friends looked really good. Now I want to bake a batch of cookies.

This is so simple I don’t even consider it baking. And they never fail.

Excellent!! Thanks for your secret, almost as easy and delish as the coconut cake I’m still baking! Of course chocolate ganache is required as well. But I’m going to try these for dessert on Sunday 😃

Sorry, until you bake a dozen of each flavor and send them to me to taste you don’t get approval to boast about any of them!!! It is THE law!

I’m a purist when it comes to cake (no mixes) but I have no such compunctions when it comes to cookies. I just made these – so easy and fabulous! Nice to have something foolproof as I’m a bit of a fool when it comes to cookies. Thanks, River!

Forgot to mention that I added the zest of 2 lemons to the mix. The husband LOVED them.
