You don’t need to hear the lecture again about how Christmas is different this year because of Covid-19. But if Christmas baking is an important part of the way you celebrate this time of year, there’s a way to keep to do it without it taking too much time. 

No-bake cookies are here to preserve your sanity.

With the help of some sticky raw ingredients (you’ll notice most of these feature peanut butter or almond butter), these no-bake cookies can be thrown together and eaten totally raw. No oven is necessary, so there’s no risk of forgetting there are cookies in the oven and setting off all your smoke detectors. And better yet, there’s no need to wait for them to come out of the oven before you can eat them.

Go forth and … well, don’t bake.
