Favor preference?
I am trying to decide what favors to have at my outdoor reception- I want something unusual and somewhat inexpensive, but still nice. What would you rather receive?
a. a nice corked glass jar full of old-fashioned lemon drops (candy)
b. a tree sapling with some cute message attached
c. a few homemade cookies wrapped up nicely
d. these are horrible ideas! I have a better one....
Lemon drops. They're probably the most universally appealing one on the list.
Cookie Gift Ideas - Cookie Gift Jars
The aroma of fresh baked cookies brings back many fond memories. Wouldn't it be great to be able to box up that aroma and send it as a gift? Here are some cookie gift ideas that will allow you to send the aroma with the cookies. The good news is that you will not even have to fire up your own oven.
Gift cookie jars are containers that contain all the dry ingredients for your own favorite recipe in a canning or other jar. A thirty-two ounce jar is the correct size for most of the recipes.
The recipe you choose should have a dry ingredient list that adds up to about four cups. Recipes using brown sugar work best since it can be packed a little tighter if necessary or can be used to form a plug that will keep all the other ingredients in place if the volume is less than one quart.
In addition for visual appeal, you will want the dry ingredients to be of various colors. This gives your cookie jar a look of a sand sculpture. You would not want to choose a recipe with all white ingredients. Oatmeal cookies or chocolate chip cookies are often a great choice for these cookie gift ideas.
Ingredients should be layered carefully into the jar without mixing. You want the differing layers to be visible through the jar. A chopstick can be used to make interesting patterns along the jar by causing valleys and ridges.
Spices could also be drawn along the glass surface on the inside of the jar to make interesting designs.
After adding all the dry ingredients, cap the jar with a canning lid. Decorative cloth can be held in place over the lid with a canning ring. Raffia can then be tied around the jar to attach any cooking directions and additional ingredients that will be needed.
Since a canning jar is essentially air tight, the dry ingredients will remain fresh for several months. You may wish to make these gifts ahead of time and store in a cool place to send at the appropriate time. These make great gifts to send home with an unexpected guest.
While you are putting these gifts together, you might want to bake up a few cookies for the family. Why go to all the work without enjoying at least one home baked cookie. You can be sure, others in the house will run to that great aroma.
