Baking cookies to express gratitude is a wonderful idea. But, right about now there are probably a lot of readers out there who are saying, "But, I'm no baker." It is okay if you have never baked before; I shall share 3 easiest to make cookie recipes you have ever seen. I'll start with the simplest, but they are all pretty easy to make, because they are all drop cookies--you just drop them on the pan, without bothering to shape the dough or anything. I will also comment on using them to say
thank you , share with you tips, tricks, and advice to make them better, and give you step-by step directions to make each variety of cookie.
1. No-Bake Cookies
This is probably the easiest cookie to make of all 3 varieties presented here. You do not even need an oven to bake these; however, you will need a stovetop to bring certain ingredients to a boil. My mother and I do not alter this common recipe that can pretty much be found anywhere; however, as the two of us are so practiced at dropping cookies and candy we find it much easier to scoop up a lot of batter with a large cooking spoon and drop multiple cookies before scooping more batter out of the bowl. But, do not do this unless you have a reasonably practiced hand.
Since these cookies are so easy to make, it takes only a little bit of effort to whip up and offer these as a way of saying "thank you", you should make the effort and write a thank you note. Even though you can certainly offer these in place of a thank you note, I recommend including a handwritten or typed note to be delivered
