peanut butter cookies are easy to make, because the only extra stuff you need is peanut butter =D

Answer 4

Mousse.  My mom makes it all the time!  Make chocolate pudding, cool whip and mix.  Then add sprinkles if you want!  Its delicious and really good looking.

Or, you could make shortbread. All you need is butter, flour, sugar.
