Bakery Cookies Start the Project Take the work out of making cookies!

 

 

Making cookies would be so much easier if you didn't have to actually MAKE the cookies. Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

 

Actually, it makes sense.

 

The fun part about cookie projects happens after the cookies are baked and cooled. Then you can decorate them, make them into bigger things, or eat them!

 

Stop by our bakery to see the many kinds of bakery cookies that are waiting for you. And once you pick out your favorites, consider these ideas for turning our cookies into YOUR cookie masterpieces!

 

 

• Make pudding or ice cream sandwiches with flat cookies (sugar cookie, oatmeal raisin, gingerbread).
• Crumble crunchy cookies over yogurt or ice cream parfaits.
• Use crisp cookies as a crumb base for pie crusts.
• Top an apple crisp with crumbled soft cookies.
• Use cookies as a topping for baked beans.
• Decorate sugar cookies or gingerbread people with any party theme, or make it a party project.
• Write special messages on cookies with icing. Use them as clues for a scavenger hunt!
• Make a cookie pizza. Use cookies as crust and then ice it with cream cheese or whipped topping, and top with fruit, candy or cereal.
• Dip cookies in melted white or dark chocolate, and then add sprinkles.
• Take two crispy cookies, spread peanut butter in the middle and then dip the whole thing in chocolate.
• Cookie sundaes begin with a cookie on a plate. Heat briefly in microwave, if desired. Top with a scoop of ice cream, syrup, whipped cream, cherry…you take it from there.
• Peanut butter cookies—make sandwiches with jam!
