"Favorite Christmas Cookie  My ""go to"" Christmas Cookie is the Lemon Ginger Cookie.  It has all of the qualities you look for in a cookie;  soft on the inside, little crust on the outside, great flavor, petite size (so you can have more than one), and quick and easy to make.  These make the perfect holiday gift to friends and family!  Here's the recipe.  Try them, you won't regret it!:  Lemon Ginger Cookies 2 1/2 cups flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp kosher salt 3 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling cookies) 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks) 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup molasses 1 Tbsp lemon rind  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon and set aside. With an electric mixer beat butter with brown sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses and lemon rind until well blended. Stir in dry ingredients, half at a time, blending well after each addition.  Roll dough, one level tablespoon at a time, between palms of hands into balls; roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches a part on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Do not overbake! Cookies will be soft in the center. Cool completely on wire racks.  Enjoy!"
