Help cookie trouble ... What is the best, and easiest holiday cookie ...?!
Answers: PB is my favorite ... I don't like the sugar cookie (rolling out that mess) so what is the next best easy cookie I can make dozens of for the kids school party .. for a NUT FREE, WHEAT FREE room, without stressing ? is it even possible?
Nut free AND wheat free? In that case you are pretty much cookie free too. The only cookie that I can think of that contains zero nuts and zero wheat are meringue kisses.
I notice that a bunch of respondents are giving you recipes that contain "flour." Flour IS wheat. No flour. No peanut butter - that is nuts and probably what the kid is allergic to.
Meringue kisses. Not the ones with coconut. Coconut is a nut.
Sugar cookies with red or green sprinkles.
go buy some... no mess at all
chocolate chip.
try butter cookies, it's good and easy. good luck
Wow. What a toughie....Rice Krispy Treats.
Bring fruit kabobs... peices of fruit shoved on a toothpick.
Cookie press cookies! There are very easy!

You can try wheat free chocolate chip cookies with holiday morsels.
the name should give it away!
1-2-3 Cookies
1 1/4 packages of Nabisco graham crackers (not the whole box)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Break the graham crackers into crumbs . Add sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Pour into a buttered, small oblong or 9x9 square pan. Bake for 30 minutes @ 350 degrees.
You should try chocolate chip. They are a classic and everyone loves them. You can just omit the wheat.
You're in luck: I found a caterer's recipe for Snickerdoodles in the back of a book my mother let me borrow some time ago.
2 cups shortening
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
Mix well.
Sift together:
4 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
enough flour to stiffen. (I think the baker used wheat flour, but there's nothing that says some other flour can't be used)
Make sure the dough is cool. Roll into walnut-sized balls, then roll the balls in cinnamon and sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at about 375.
Enjoy!
