Cookie Gift Basket

A cookie gift basket, who wouldn't love to get one!! This is one of my favorite gift baskets to give. If you are going for strictly gourmet cookies you can shop around and find some and fill your basket with them. They are not hard to find you can find them in grocery stores as well as many gift stores.

Add some gourmet coffee, tea, or hot chocolate with them to give it a little variety and you are set.

If your cookie lover is also a baker you can find a great cookie recipe book, spatulas, an apron, oven mits, cookie cutters, to add to the mix. I would use a nice mixing bowl as the "basket", and the utensils add a little height to it to make it look pretty.

My favorite cookie gift baskets use cookie jars as the "basket". If you have a lot of gift baskets to give or make this can really help out. You can individualize your gifts by picking a cookie jar for each person that is suitable. Then fill them all with cookies.

I like to bake my own to fill them up, I try to find a few unique cookie recipes that my friends have probably never had before as well and include the recipes in the gift basket.

This is an especially great gift basket idea for families. Not only can the whole family get together to bake the cookies, but if the gift is for a family the whole family can enjoy them.

A simple cookie gift basket would be to bake some cookies from a cookie jar recipe to include, then add a couple of jars of the cookie ingredients. That way then can enjoy some now and some later.
