Cookie Box Gifts

This week we're doing A LOT of last minute errands, cleaning and baking in preparation for family coming in town to celebrate Christmas with us..... as hectic as it seems right now, I LOVE this time of year!  Today, we passed out a few boxes of cookies to our neighbors to say Merry Christmas!

Cookie Box

To get the boxes ready, we baked, frosted and of course ate a few cookies.  Then to package the boxes, I first cut parchment paper in tiny squares using pinking shears to separate the different types of cookies in the box....

I added the first layer... parchment paper cut to size (4" x 4")....

Then added shortbread cookies....

On top of the peanut butter balls I added another sheet of parchment paper, a few more cookies, then closed the box, added a tag (cut using a square scallop punch) and red and white baker's twine to hold it all together.

The baker's twine was wrapped around the box a few times, then tied in a bow.

The cookie boxes were delivered to a few friends on the street..... and now I think it's time to eat a peanut butter ball, then clean the kitchen!  Happy Christmas..... only four days until the big day!

    1. Erin - I bought the boxes from Box & Wrap: www.boxandwrap.com/cupcake-boxes-color.html

      They have several sizes to choose from (I used the 4x4x4- it's the size for a standard cupcake). Hope that helps :)

  4. If you are related to bakery business then surely you would have the yummiest bakery product Cake”. When transporting these scrumptious cupcakes from one place to another, you can organized it in on beer flat technique but the disadvantage this approach is that your cupcakes can slide against each other and perhaps be broken before it can even reach its intended destination.
