Cookie Recipes?

So Christmas is coming soon, and I want to make cookies.

Know any good recipes?

Try to keep them simple (I’m no Emeril, lol).

Oh yeah, and other easy desserts are welcome too!

(btw, I love vanilla and chocolate! And all types of nuts are fine, no allergies here.)

Thanks!
Oh, and websites with good recipes are good too!

Any ideas for simple cookie recipes that can be prepared with few ingredients?

I found out very last minute that a friend is having a housewarming/birthday party this evening. I figured it’d be nice to get her a serving dish for her new house and fill it with some homemade cookies, however I am very, very limited in ingredients.

I have:
-Butter
-White granulated sugar
-Brown sugar
-Ground cinnamon
-Whole wheat flour
-Baking powder
-Eggs
-Milk
-Salt
-Vanilla
-M&M’s
-Chopped walnuts

I was thinking Snickerdoodles but, unfortunately, I do not have any cream of tartar and most recipes call for that.

Any ideas?

Any good cookie recipes that don’t use vanilla?

Hi, does anyone out there know a good cookie recipe that doesn’t use vanilla, because I don’t know for sure that I have any. Plus, I don’t have much else to do today. Thanks a lot!
OH, so it wouldn’t hurt not to use vanilla in a sugar cookie recipe? Well, I guess I can try that out. Thanks, and any other answers would be nice, thanks.
Oh, thanks for the call about sugar cookies without vanilla, I guess i’ll try to get some vanilla when I can, and not make the cookies today. Thanks!
