Holiday Cookies

One of the most fun things we get to do when menu planning is design cookie packages. We like to lay them all out on the table, see what we’ve got, then put them together into themes. Like any good baker, or Grandma, we have A LOT of cookie cutters. Shapes, figures, people, animals and we just got more.

Just this past weekend, my Mom woke me at 8am on Black Friday and said “Get dressed. We’re going to Bed, Bath & Beyond”. In order to get the good deal, we had to arrive before 10am. Coffee in hand we made it in time to get 20% off our entire purchase. We put our discount to good use getting lots of little things like extra measuring cups, silicone brushes for painting chocolate at high temperatures, pizza cutters (for dough), and Silpats.

As we walked up and down the kitchen section my eyes grew wider and wider. My Mom leaned in and said, “Does Grassroots Gourmet celebrate Hannukah? Cause your Dad & I would love to buy the bakery a gift!”

We are now the proud owners of 65 brand new cookie cutters, for the holidays, for kids, for always. Thanks Mom & Dad.
