Our All-Time Favourite Holiday Cookies

These rich, festive cookies make excellent gifts. Package up the portioned, raw dough so that the cookies can be baked and eaten on the recipient's own time, or keep some dough in the freezer for quick baking to serve to friends who pop by unexpectedly over the winter holidays. This dough comes together quickly in the food processor and is so tasty you just might find it hard to give away.
