Random Recipe Friday

I usually don't participate in this, but I love baking cookies. Here are two simple easy cookie recipes! (Whenever I bake these to share I get asked for the recipe... so I figure they are worth sharing) I prefer to bake my cookies from scratch, but who has time these days? (oh wait I did that last week... anyway... here are two that are almost from scratch)
