If you're using cutters, gingerbread is a good one. (BTW, did she get the Aldi ones? That was a GREAT deal!)

Gingerbread

125g unsalted butter
1/2 C sugar
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 C plain flour
1 small tsp bicarb. soda
3 tsp ground ginger
4 (generous)T golden syrup

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and beat well. Gradually add sifted dry ingredients and warmed golden syrup. Mix well and knead lightly.
Roll out and cut into shapes.
Bake in slow-moderate oven (mine is about 165 deg C) for 10-15 mins.

Of course it is also fun to decorate them afterwards with icing and sultanas and M&Ms...
Enjoy!!!
