Beautiful gifting of homemade cookies is a snap when you keep the right packaging supplies on hand. If you like to bake and take the opportunity to share your talent and delicious results with others, package your cookies in pretty boxes for the final touch. When you purchase delicious baked treats from a bakery the best bakers always package the order in a bakers box and tie it up with bakers twine, or seal the box shut with an attractive label. You put in the work of a Pastry Chef why not add pretty packaging like a pro, especially when it is so simple.
SUPPLIES
6" x 6" x 4" Gourmet Favor Box
20" x 30" Tissue Paper
10" Gold Stretch Loop
Wax Paper
We have used a 6" x 6" x 4" Brown Ivory Stripe Favor Box, 20" x 30" sheet of Candy Dots Tissue Paper, 10" Gold Stretch Loop from Ribbons and Favors for our project. Wax paper is used for our food safe barrier and 25 homemade Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (recipe below) fit nicely.
Assemble favor box, fold printed tissue paper in half so your finished folded size is 15" x 20". Tuck tissue paper into the box first, then line the bottom and sides with a piece of waxed paper.
STEP 2
Add your delicious cookies. We fit 25 into the box.
STEP 3
Tuck tissue paper across the top of the cookies. Put the assembled lid on the favor box base, then slip the 10" Stretch Loop around the box. You can add a handmade tag or adhesive label if you wish.
BUTTERSCOTCH OATMEAL COOKIES
1 1/2 cup butter
2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 cups rolled oats
2 - 11 oz packages butterscotch flavored chips
In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until soft and smooth. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with mixer. If your mixer begins to stall as the batter becomes heavy, hand mix the rest of the flour. Stir in rolled oats and butterscotch chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool cookies on wire rack. Makes about 80 cookies. Ingredients can be cut in half for a smaller batch. Enjoy ~ Sandra
