Mother's Day Gift Idea: Cookie Bouquet

Audrey and I created cookie bouquets for her grandmothers for Mother's Day. We saw her 'Mere and Nana this past weekend, so before we went we planned ahead and made (and ate) lots of sugar cookie dough, inserted a sucker stick in each of them and baked them all on Wednesday. We made the icing in 7 different fun colors and then put everything up for the next day. On Thursday we painted the pots, put floral foam inside, covered it with green straw (found at Michaels), decorated the cookies, let them dry and covered them with clear treat bags. On Friday morning before we left, I arranged them in the pot and off we went! Both grandmothers just loved them and have requested them for every Mother's Day! :) So if you are looking for something extra special to do this year - here's your ticket!

*a little tip: when writing names on the cookies - cut the tip of the piping bag very small (I use the clear disposable piping bags)- the icing naturally spreads out making the letters wider than what they start out as.
