I once participated in a “for real” cookie exchange with some of my blogging buddies. I decided to whip up a batch of my Shortbread Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Of course, I couldn’t just stuff some cookies in a tin and call it a day. Since I was mailing them halfway across the country, I wanted to make the cookies a little bit special, so here’s what I did.
I found the cutest little cookie box at World Market.
Then I saw a Moose cookie cutter and knew I had to grab it, too. I wish I had bought one for myself. It’s just too cute.
The brown and white parchment paper features owls, trees, and nuts. You can see a little bit in the above pictures.
I not only used the parchment paper to line my baking sheets, but I cut a couple of pieces to fit the inside of the box to nestle the cookies. Speaking of cookies – these are some of my favorite cookies. They are buttery bites of chocolate goodness and so easy to make. You’ve got to try them.
