This year,
for Alex’s teachers’ gifts, I decided to bake chocolate chip cookies. My mom used to bake gifts for my teachers and it is a tradition I would like to continue. I have been using this recipe for years. It is my go-to
recipe when I am in need of a crowd pleaser. In fact, I baked over 250 to go into
the welcome bags at Andy’s and my wedding, and was asked for the recipe
countless times at the wedding.
Finished product. |
I picked up these boxes at Michael's, and lined them with white paper towels. Afterwards, I added this crinkle to the bottom to make them more festive. |
Each box fit about two dozen cookies. |
I wrapped them in cream paper and tied them with green, red and cream ribbons. |
