I love making cookies and Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays so this post is close to my heart. As much as I love to make and ice cookies the presentation of the cookies is also a passion of mine. This post will show you four ways to impress someone with your presentation. Two of the downloads could be used with treats other than cookies. The great thing about cute printables is that you could throw any good treat into a jar, tie a ribbon around the top and attach a printable and you have a great present.
The recipe for all the cookies shown can be found here.
#1 Cookie Idea- Mini Cookies Instead of making large cookies make mini cookies. They fit into containers well and people like a bite size treat
.
#2 Cookie Idea-Cookies in a Jar- I fall for anything out of the ordinary in a jar. I love the look of stuff presented in a jar. Pinterest is full of ideas of what fun a jar can be. I put these cute mini cookies into a pint size jar and attached a ribbon and printable. A link to all of the printable can be found at the end of this post.
#3 Cookie Idea-Attach a hang tag- I am always attracted to pictures of cookies with hang tags. This version is for a small cookie, but I am also including a printable for a standard size bag.
#4 Cookie Idea-Make a Cookie Cake- I saw these a while back on the Martha Stewart Website. I started with round cookies and royal icing and spent thirty minutes having SO MUCH fun! I iced each cookie on the top before I put the cake together. I did not like the look of the cookies naked edges so I started icing dots on the “cake”. I got carried away but I like how it turned out. I will be trying this again.
This is the cookies before I started icing them.

I spray the back of my stencil with spray adhesive and let it cure a bit so it will come off my project. Then I lightly lay it over the letters so I have the placement the same as with the letters, then stick one edge down and move the letters completely out. Then you are ready to paint.

Existing without the approaches to the problems you have resolved by way of the short article is a crucial case, as well as ones which may have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not discovered your website. Your own personal knowledge and kindness in dealing with all the details was precious. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not discovered such a stuff like this. I’m able to at this point relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for this expert and result oriented guide. I will not be reluctant to recommend your blog to any person who needs to have guidance about this subject.
I consider a small family, but my husband is one of 7 children so I get that big family feel when we have family gatherings on his side. I must like it because we are on baby #6 (and possibly we are the reason that the average here in the US is 2 rather than 1 like in Canada and most of Europe according to your chart!)
