Cookie Bouquet--My Style

 Cookie bouquets can be challenging.

What container do I use?

How do I keep the cookies in the container?

Do I wrap each cookie?

Here's what I do.

I make cookies thicker than normal and bake.

As soon as they come out of the oven, I stick a wooden skewer in the cookie

 and cross my fingers that they don't crack the cookie!

I decorate as usual and let dry.

I cover each one with a cello bag and tie a ribbon, twine, etc. on the bottom.

I always use a red clay pot that is painted (by me) to match the cookies as a container.

It's heavy, the right size, and doesn't cost too much. 

Place in styro foam that is wedged in the container.

This is the final product!

Ready for a celebration!
