Not a cookie but JO shortbread is amazing.
link I don't bother flavouring with anything, just the basic flour/sugar/butter is meltingly gorgeous.

I make hazelnut biscuits by making 3-2-1 biscuits but substituting some of the flour for hazelnuts I've blitzed in a processor and toasted.

I tend to wing it so I'm not exactly sure of the ratios but probably half flour half hazelnut.

If she likes chocolate and you're not adverse to a spot of decorating, then try these www.oetker.co.uk/uk-en/recipe/r/chocolate-chip-christmas-pudding-cookies.html
Alternatively...
BBC Good Food fruity biscotti
Sainsbury's jammy star biscuits
I add chunks of white chocolate to these cranberry and pistachio biscuits www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8022/fruity-christmas-biscotti
Florentines
Tesco have an absolutely gorgeous Lebkuchen recipe that used mixed spice but not cinnamon.

Definitely Nigella's White Chocolate, cranberry and pecan cookies (recipe on line if you google it)

Stained glass window biscuits. You cut a shape out of the middle & fill it with crushed, boiled sweets which melt in the oven to form a "window pane"? Google it for a recipe.
