I find baking to be very therapeutic at times, so when I found out that my friend was going through a difficult time I decided to send her something that she could bake. Most people send the finished product, which is great at times, but I decided to go a different route, plus it lasts longer in the mail!
Although I did not get to taste these cookies, they got rave reviews online. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteWhere did you purchase the ribbon and label to put on the jar.
@Jackie: I had the ribbon in my craft drawer; not really sure exactly where I bought it. The labels were a gift. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
ReplyDelete@Jackie: I found out where the labels came from; Littlebeane Boutique.
