Want to make some cookies with your own children? Here are a few of my favorites:

Martha Stewart Lemon Cookies: These are going to become your new 'go to' sugar cookie. These are a light buttery cookie with a faint lemon undertone. The cookies hold their shape perfectly making them a great base for the traditional Christmas cookies - no more unrecognizable blobs! The recipe includes a great royal icing recipe for a very professional finish, or you could pair with your favorite butter-cream and they would still be sublime.

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies: This recipe from Allrecipes.com (my go-to for any recipe need) is a great holiday take on the classic chocolate chip cookie. With dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, these look quite festive on a holiday tray or given in a tin or bag as a gift to the neighbors. *I sub out vanilla for brandy when I make the recipe.

Coraline (Button) Cookies: I am a sucker for the classic peanut butter blossom cookie at Christmas (you know, peanut butter cookie, Hershey kiss jammed on top - yummmmm). But thanks to Bakerella, I think I may have found a new version of that Chocolate/Peanut butter combination for this year. These would make such an amazing gift for any of your sewing friends. Just wrap a few in a cellophane bag, tie with a ribbon, and Voila!
