My Top 4 Christmas Cookie Recipes

Those of you who know me know that I can cook as long as the recipe doesn't involve too many steps or ingredients.  The following are my Frugal Writer tested recipes that are pleasing to the pocketbook, easy to make and yummy too.  If you are counting calories, well, uh, just eat less.

My oldest elf dusting the Easy Chocolate Truffles

The Fab Four criteria for making this list:

• 5 non-exotic ingredients or less
• easy to do in 5 steps or less
• awesome tasting
• can be done with or around kids

So here goes....  

1. Fake Thin Mints
2. Easy Chocolate Truffles (thank you Kraft!)
3. Saltine Cracker Brittle
4. Reindeer Chow - aka Chow Mein Cookies

Even with only two more days 'til Christmas, you can whip up a batch of these cookies and look like a champ in the kitchen.

For fun, let's have a virtual cookie exchange!  Post a recipe here or or add your link to a recipe that adheres to the Fab Four criteria.

Merry Christmas and Happy Baking!
