Martha Stewart (I know , I know) has a new cookie book out with great recipes! My local library has it. It has recipes for various types of sugar cookies, depending on how you want them. I think it's just called "Cookies". The chocolate gingerbread cookies in it are the BEST cookies I have ever made.
