Ridiculously Simple German Drop Cookies

Sometimes you don’t have the time to put in to making any sort of involved recipe.   Sometimes, you just have to knock something out because something came up or, you just need a cookie NOW and don’t feel like going to the grocery store (Where, honestly, you should never buy cookies.   They sell cookie ingredients, and that’s all you need.)

This is a recipe my mom gave me, and you can find multiple variations of it on the interwebs.   They’re called German Drop Cookies.   For the life of me I can’t find the origin of that name.   Even Siri didn’t know.  The best I can figure is that the “drop” part just means you plop the dough on a cookie sheet.   And “German” means…they were invented in Germantown, PA?   They were invented by someone with the last name of German?   They taste like sauerkraut?   Nah, that last one’s not right.

Regardless, or irregardless if you prefer, it doesn’t matter.   This is one of those recipes where you plop a bunch of ingredients into a bowl, mix that s#$t up, plop it on a baking sheet and bake it.   Super simple, but tasty too.   It’s more of an adult cookie, not very sweet but with a nice flavor to it.
