Sharing is the buzz word when it comes to holidays and festivities, and it is not surprising if you get an invite for a cookie-swap once in a while. Earlier preparing these delicious smelling cookie trays at home used to be fun. However, today with the “on-go” lifestyle that we lead who has the time, energy and patience to bake cookies at home and that too a whole lot of them!
Well no need to avoid one of these cookie-swaps, with the amazing ideas that we will share with you, you will be able to display a whole range of cookie trays with élan. First you need to decide the approach to getting the cookies made; can either get really adventurous and start baking and arranging the tray from scratch, purchase readymade cookies and arrange them on a tray, or best just buy readymade cookie trays.
In case you want to start from scratch, then you better use any easy to make cookie mix and follow the instructions given on the box to the Tee. Do not try any experimentation; you can do those when you have time and energy at your disposal, and your partner is the guinea pig not your friend/neighbors. You will need one box per tray, so find out how many trays you are planning to share and purchase the cookie mix boxes accordingly. It is a good idea to use different flavor cookie mixes and then make assorted flavor cookie trays. Preparing the cookies might take around 20 to 30 minutes so plan your time accordingly.
Purchasing the cookies is a better idea when you are not at all confident with your culinary skills or do not have the requisite equipments. Make sure you get your goods from a reputed outlet. Many cities have local bakeries, which will be more than happy to deliver freshly baked cookies at your place; however you might have to give them some lead time. Once your cookies are ready (homemade or readymade), get enough trays and doilies. Paper doilies are disposable, enhance the visual appeal of your cookies and are cheap as well. So line your trays with appropriately shaped and sized doilies and arrange your cookies over them, sprinkle some icing sugar and cinnamon powder over the cookies for an added effect…Voila your very own cookie tray is ready.
As for readymade cookie trays, these come with an assortment of cookies, along with other gift foods like fruits and chocolates. A professional cookie tray will always make you standout in a crowd with people asking you about tips on sourcing the cookie trays. Many online gifting websites offer cookie trays that can be delivered on the same day of order, plus they have many easy payment options. Browse the net and you will come across many.
So now the next time you are called for a cookie-swap party do not hide under the bed or plan an emergency get away but confidently share a cookie tray and enjoy the holiday spirit.
