Christmas recipes ? Make cookies, wrap them up as gifts!


By From My Kitchen - Sanjeev Kapoor (Visit website)




A wonderful hand made gift, packed just as beautifully, will touch the recipient?s heart for sure. Cakes, cup cakes, cookies and marzipan ? whatever you wish to gift, can be made more special with innovative gift wrapping. Putting them just on a paper plate and sealing them in a plastic bag can be really boring. Go the extra step to make your cookies as festive and innovative as they can be.

Here are some tips that you can follow to store/gift wrap your cookies in the most interesting ways:

?You can choose from a variety of wrapping options like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, parchment paper, waxed paper and plastic bags.

?Cookies can be put in a decorated cardpaper cake box and sealed with wax paper. This becomes a packing as well as a way to keep the cookies fresh for a longer time.

?Cookies can be stacked in glass jars with seals. This brings some cool class!

?Christmas cookies can be packed in coloured or clear cellophane bags. Tying the bags with a ribbon and a small tag with the cookie?s recipe will wow the recipient. Try the Almond Cookies in this case.


?Another interesting way is to place cookies on a small, round cooling rack and then wrapping them in a new, clean dish towel or placing mat. You can showcase five or six cookies this way, and tie it all with some fabric ribbon and a gift tag.

?Christmas cookies can be used to fill mugs with special messages of season?s greetings or any personalized message or picture.


?You can also line a basket with a clean colourful dish towel and put the cookies inside. Small baskets that are inexpensive and reusable, can be used to present cookies to the guests or family members in a warm and inviting way. Cover the basket with cellophane wrap to keep them fresh.

?Carryout food containers can also be used. Stick on some colourful festive bows or ribbon and these are good for small or medium cookies. Lemon and Pistachio Cookie is a good recipe.


?The cookies can be put in a nice bread pan. This protects them during shipping and makes it usable by the recipient over and over again. To add a touch of style, the pan can be wrapped in coloured cellophane and tied with a bow at the top.

However, what you should keep in mind while wrapping cookies is that, you should not wrap cookies which are warm or direct from the oven, decorated cookies that are not completely dry and soft and crisp cookies together as the soft ones will harden and the crisp ones will soften.
