Cookie Baking Tips for Mother’s Day

• Chill your dough – Especially for shaped or rolled cookies, this helps prevent spreading.
• Get creative with flavors that are light, fruity, floral, or comfortingly sweet—like lemon lavender, strawberry shortcake, or honey chamomile.
• Make it a family activity – Let the kids decorate cookies with sprinkles, icing, or edible glitter.
• Gift-worthy packaging ideas for cookies: Use decorated tins with tissue paper, clear treat bags tied with ribbon and a tag, small bakery boxes lined with parchment and flowers, or mason jars filled with mini cookies and topped with a decorated lid.
• Want your homemade treats to taste bakery-fresh for days? Check out these simple tips on how to keep cookies fresh and delicious!
