" Every holiday season, you swear your December won&amp;#039;t be summed up as scrambling\u2014to the post office, to buy that last gift, to write those holiday cards\u2014and yet, it inevitably happens. You say yes to a holiday party, White Elephant Gift Exchange and Ugly Sweater soiree all in the same week, you promised you&amp;#039;d join in your friend&amp;#039;s cookie swap, you agreed to that last-minute project at work. You&amp;#039;re overbooked, and there&amp;#039;s no time to bake. But you still want to bring on the holiday spirit with a batch of homemade cookies. You need three-ingredient sugar cookies. Like, now.  You don&amp;#039;t have to go shopping for ingredients\u2014there&amp;#039;s a good chance you probably have flour, butter and sugar in your kitchen already\u2014and they&amp;#039;re little more effort than baking break-and-bake cookie dough from the grocery store: Just stir, spoon onto a baking sheet and pop them into the oven. Oh, and set a timer, so you don&amp;#039;t burn the batch while you race to wrap gifts, decorate your tree and call your mom during the 15 minutes they&amp;#039;re baking.\u00A0 These cookies are so buttery they&amp;#039;re almost shortbread-like, but the chewy center and crisp edges are unmistakably sugar cookie-esque.\u00A0  One batch makes 12 palm-sized\u00A0cookies, but you can easily double (or triple) this recipe to serve to a larger crowd. When stored in a resealable bag or container, they&amp;#039;ll keep for over a week too\u2014provided they last that long without people gobbling them up. Of course, if you want to give them a little extra swagger, you can always top them with sprinkles or M&amp;amp;amp;Ms before baking, or drizzle them with melted chocolate or frosting once they&amp;#039;ve cooled from the oven.\u00A0 Get the recipe on Delish.
