    Even if you're not normally a homemade gifts-giver, we can all agree on one thing: people love them some cookies. We rounded up some simple sweet treat recipes to help you check off the rest of your Christmas list: some are especially simple (we're talking store-bought dough and cake mix), some are quick Christmas classics and others put creative spin on old favorites (cardamom snaps, anyone?). Hopefully, you'll find more than a few winners here to complete your Santa duties so you can pour yourself a glass of spiked eggnog and really get into the holiday spirit.
