Easy cookie recipes that don't need an electric mixer?

[RONIRVANA]

Well I love baking cookies but all the kinds I have made so far are those you make little balls of dough and then dump in the oven...for some reason though I decided to buy the cutest heart shaped cookie cutters and now I think about making roll-out cookies but I don't have a functioning electric mixer. I'm also particularly lazy so please don't suggest creaming the butter and sugar by hand it will kill me. Please please give me an easy recipe? Please?

There is no cookie recipe in the world that "requires" an electric mixer.

If you're too lazy to cream butter and sugar by hand you obviously don't want to make cookies that badly.

There is no cookie recipe out there that doesn't require butter and sugar to be creamed together.

Drop cookie recipes are fantastic time-savers for bakers on the run. The dough is soft enough that you can spoon it out of the bowl and drop it on a baking sheet. In less time than it takes to preheat the oven, you can be ready to bake.
