Edible Party Favors

Edible Party Favor

For my 7 year old’s birthday party, I baked some cookies ahead of time (for the sake of time), and had the girls help me bake off others (I had made the dough ahead of time). Then I layered the cookies in bakery bags and sent them home as party favors. I’m not sure how the girls felt about it (at least one said, “cookies? that’s all??”), but the parents appreciated their kids coming home with something that disappears rather than a trinket that just collects dust and drives parents that much closer to the brink of insanity (is that just me?).

The cookies you see above are Cornmeal Cookies (I have been asked for the recipe in real life, and I will post it tomorrow) and Chocolate Molasses Cookies. The Chocolate Molasses Cookies are adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe, and they taste like little cookie brownies. They are easily one of the most fabulous cookies I have ever made, and I have made a lot of cookies in my time.

So that’s my contribution to the Moneysaving Arena: Edible Party Favors. Recipes to follow. I know I know. You can hardly wait….

Warmly,
Nicole
