#17: Christmasy Cookies, Cupcakes, and Cardboard Boxes


for our annual christmas gifts to the relatives, my sister and i will usually bake something sweet. this year we decided to make an assortment of cookies. i was inspired by some pages i saw in a martha stewart cookie magazine in how to use plain old boxes to present the cookies. the article said to use corrugated paper to line the edges of the boxes and to split the box into different compartments. i went on a search for corrugated paper in at least 3 stores, and still couldn't find any. i ended up using martha as just inspiration and made my own boxes with colored card stock and tissue paper. i was pretty happy with the results.

i made 4 different baked treats for the boxes. (1) louisiana pecan balls (2) praline squares, (3) brown buttercrunch cookies (a variation on the last ones i did because they turned out differently for some reason), and (4) double vanilla cupcakes.



plenty of leftovers for now. let me know if you're interested. i probably won't deliver to you personally...but you can always stop by and pick some up! :)
