What is the definitive guide to Janis Elspas's homemade Hanukkah cookies?

I don’t actually have a single “definitive guide” post collected in one place for my homemade Hanukkah cookies. What you’re seeing are snapshots: fresh-baked trays for parties, and decorated sugar cookies with dreidels, coins, and other Hanukkah themes.

If you’d like, I can walk you through:

• A go-to sugar cookie dough
• Easy Hanukkah shapes and colors
• Simple decorating ideas for a party-ready platter

What kind of guide are you looking for—recipe, decorating tips, or party-planning around the cookies?
