You'll have to go a long way to find an easy cookie recipe that's simpler than this one - it's so easy these delicious sugar cookies almost make themselves.

These are a favorite quick and simple teatime treat in my family.

They're especially good straight from the oven, which makes them a big hit with the kids - they hate waiting for things to cool!

A good non-stick cookie sheet makes this easy cookie recipe so simple to make. If you don't have one, I recommend you take the time to add one to your collection of baking paraphernalia. I use mine all the time - it's much healthier, cheaper and easier than covering everything with non-stick cooking spray!
