How do I Make a Cookie Basket Gift for a New Baby?
- 1). Preheat your oven according to the cookie recipe you're using, usually about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with a piece of wax paper.
- 2). Roll out your cookie dough and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Use a cookie cutter in the shape of a baby item like a rattle or sock, which you can find at home goods stores or craft stores. Line the cookies on the cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the oven to bake.
- 3). Frost the cookies with icing once they have cooled. Place frosted cookies on a plate and put the plate in the refrigerator to let the icing harden.
- 4). Tightly wrap each cookie with plastic wrap. Fill a wicker basket with paper grass and lay the wrapped cookies in a pile on top of the grass.
- 5). Place the basket into a shrink wrap bag, which you can find at craft stores or party supply shops. Hit the bag with a hair dryer for about a minute and the bag will shrink up and around the basket.
- 6). Tie a ribbon around the top of the shrink wrap bag to keep the whole piece intact.
