Hanukkah
A few spins on traditional Hanukkah treats you can gift, eat, or rock a cookie swap with

Hanukkah Sugar cookies
These sugar cookies can be decorated like dreidels, menorahs, or Stars of David. Kids can help by piping decorating gel or applying sprinkles.
To achieve the same effect in a fraction of the time: Roll out a 1/4 inch thick sheet of thawed puff pastry and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Brush with a lightly beaten egg, and sprinkle with course sugar. Bake according to puff pastry directions. This treat can sand on its own, but also makes a fun topper for ice cream or a cupcake!
