Very similar to the previous batch, these cookies have all the exact same mouthwatering features, just in crimson velvet rather than chocolate! Get the recipe for Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies.
Packaging: To create this cookie envelope begin off my folding cardstock lined with wax paper onto one side, that has been cut into a flower shape (as if the flower has 4 petals). To shut, you can get as creative as you like. Use tape to securely close, or use a hole punch to make holes on opposite ends, and tie a piece of ribbon through. You can even tie in buttons as well!

YUM! Like Oreos alone were not great enough… these minty white chocolate and peppermint covered Oreos would be to die for. Get the recipe for Holiday Oreos.
Packaging: To get the look of this packaging, you’re going to want clear cellophane bags, doilies, a stapler, a hole punch, and string. Start off by placing your cookies in the clear bag and folding the surface of the bag over. Then fold a doily over the top, and staple it on. (Your luggage is securely closed and your doily is attached.) Use your hole punch to make holes on either side of the staple and tie your string through. Now tie a pretty bow or mix some garnish on and you’re all set with a fairly cookie package.

You can not go wrong with a classic chocolate chip cookie. These ones look especially delicious! Get the recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Packaging: This must be one of the most adorable paper bags we’ve ever seen. If you can’t locate a bag together with all the”peek-a-boo” attribute, then create your own! Cut a shape out of the paper bag and tape cellophane or plastic wrap throughout the contour, taping onto the inside of the bag. Add a tag, ribbon, or any other decoration you like. We also love the idea of personalized bags and organza bags!
