Alright, let’s talk about them weddin’ shower cookies, you know, the kind they give out at them fancy parties before someone gets hitched. I ain’t no baker, mind you, but I know what tastes good and what folks like to munch on.
First off, you gotta have choices, see? Can’t just have one kind of cookie, that’s just plain borin’. Think about it, some folks like chocolate, some like peanut butter, and then there’s them oatmeal lovers. You gotta have somethin’ for everyone, even that picky Aunt Millie who only eats things with cinnamon.
Now, I seen some folks makin’ these fancy little tower things outta cookies, somethin’ like a cake but made outta cookies, they called ’em “Madeleines”. Sounded all highfalutin to me, but they sure looked pretty. If you wanna get all fancy-pants, you can try that, but I say, a good ol’ cookie is good enough for me.
I remember my cousin gave me a recipe for this almond cheesecake at my own shower, years and years ago. That wasn’t no cookie, mind you, but it got me thinkin’. You could have cookies that taste like cheesecake, maybe with a little bit of that lemony stuff in it. Or how about them heart-shaped cinnamon coffee cakes? Not exactly a cookie neither, but you get the idea. Make it somethin’ special, somethin’ folks will remember.
- Chocolate Chip Cookies – Can’t go wrong with a classic.
- Peanut Butter Cookies – For them nutty folks.
- Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – A little bit healthy, a little bit sweet.
- Sugar Cookies – Cut ’em into cute shapes, like hearts or bells.
And don’t forget the vanilla! I heard tell there’s this “best vanilla cake” recipe out there, and I bet you can make cookies outta that same stuff. Just add some vanilla bean paste, they say, and it’ll taste like heaven. Sounds good to me.
Now, about how many cookies you need? Well, that depends on how many folks you got comin’. If you got a big crowd, you gonna need a whole lotta cookies. I say, figure at least one or two cookies for each person. Better to have too many than not enough, ain’t that right? And if they’re big cookies, well, maybe one is enough. You don’t want folks gettin’ all stuffed up before the weddin’ even starts.
And how you gonna put ’em out? You can just pile ’em on a plate, I guess, but if you wanna get fancy, you can put ’em in them big glass jars, the kind they have at the candy store. Make it look nice, you know? Put some pretty ribbons on the jars, or maybe even some little lights. It’s all about makin’ it look festive, makin’ it look like a celebration.
So there you have it, my two cents on weddin’ shower cookies. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but I know what tastes good and I know what folks like. Just remember to keep it simple, keep it tasty, and make sure there’s enough for everyone. And most important, have fun! It’s a celebration, after all.
This whole cookie thing, it’s supposed to be about happiness and gettin’ hitched, you know? It’s a sweet time, so the cookies should be sweet too. And don’t go frettin’ too much about makin’ everything perfect. Just do your best and folks will appreciate it. They come for the weddin’ and for seein’ their folks, cookies are just a bonus, ain’t they?
So there’s my thoughts on them weddin’ shower cookies. I ain’t got no fancy book learnin’, just plain common sense. Now go on and make some cookies, will ya?
