A Beautiful Guide to Celebrating Jewish Rituals in Style by Rita Milos Brownstein.
Cookies speak a special language.
They tell of extra effort and time spent to delight guests of every age, every taste. Visually, a cookie tray is a vivid still-life, a melange of sweetness bursting with color, texture, and shape. Irresistably tactile and easy to handle, they're a tempting, witty conclusion to your Chanukah buffet or open house. Children love to help with cookie rolling, cutting, and shaping, and they're pros with original decoration ideas, too. Buy a handful of Chanukah cookie cutters at your local kitchen shop and try your hand at a cookie tray.
