Bob's Red Mill
This week we've teamed up with Bob's Red Mill to show off some of our favorite cookie recipes. Â The base to every good recipe are quality ingredients. Â This is something I had to learn the hard way. Â Your hard work in the kitchen just isn't as good when you skip on the ingredients. Â I have been so impressed with Bob's Red Mill. Â My cookies turned out so darn good!
Give The Gift of Homemade
There is something really special about giving a gift from your kitchen. Â It took time, thought, and love. Â We hope that this week you are inspired to give a baked good to a neighbor, a friend, or someone who needs a smile. Â Serving with food is something that is near and dear to my heart. Â You just can't replace that feeling of comfort you get from a homemade item with something you bought at the store.
Package Them In A Cellophane Bag
My first packaging idea is simple and one I have done over and over again. Â Stack your cookies high and place them in a cellophane bag. Â Tie the bag with some festive ribbon or bakers twine and add an ornament or tag. Â I love to use this packaging for my beacon hill cookies, or oatmeal raisin cookies.
Package Them In A Pringles Can
I actually stole this idea from my grandma. Â She would keep her empty and clean Pringles cans all year long. Â Around the holidays she would fill them with cookies or a pumpkin roll. Â She would cover the cans with wrapping paper, but I chose a pretty piece of scrapbook paper and a little baker's twine. Â This is the perfect packaging for ginger snaps!
Package Them In A Mason Jar
Mason jars are a classic look and very inexpensive. Â They are perfect for smaller cookies like white chocolate raspberry cookies. Â You can really dress them up by adding a little lace or twine. Â Try tying on a jingle ball or a sprig of holiday greenery. Â You can purchase mason jars at most grocery stores, big box stores, and craft stores.
Package Them In A Box

Hi ...
can share how to make the Christmas wreath that you place in the Christmas cellophane bag.

Hi - the wreath is store bought. It was a christmas ornament that I repurposed as a gift tag.
