Cookie Boxes 2010

This is the third year that I have made cookie plates/boxes for family and friends. I started doing because all of the people that we had to buy gifts for was getting overwhelming. We have been buying presents only for immediate family and then I give cookies to extended family, neighbors and we each bring a set to our offices.

This year I ended up doing about 20 boxes of cookies between neighbors, family, friends and work. I even mailed 3 boxes to family this year!

Chocolate covered rice krispie treat pops.

Cherry shortbread stockings dipped in chocolate.

My own creation - cherry "surprises"
(sugar cookie dough wrapped around a cherry that is stuffed with a chocolate chip).

Pecan sandies with fudge.

Sugar cookies with royal icing.

Burnt sugar almonds.

Zucchini bread with garden zucchini that I froze over the summer.

 I packed all of the cookies in boxes that I got from Nashville wraps. They were on clearance and cheaper than anything else I could find- perfect!
