Thanks, I needed a quick and easy recipe to make with a few ingrediants, and this will work perfectly. P.S. Does anyone know the exact cooking time? I'm not very attentive and will probably let them burn...

It can vary wildly depending on anything from your type and size of oven to the size of your cookies. I can't really give you an exact time.
