But you can sweeten any simcha even further with a platter of freshly baked cookies. These small wonders punctuate holidays and other milestones all through the Jewish year.
Most cookies are quick to prepare and easy to serve.

They're ideal for those on a low-cholesterol diet as they contain only egg whites, no yolks. The chewy pecans contrast with the delicately brittle texture of the meringue.
