Hello, I have an order to make 6 cookie bouquets for christmas. My friend that I am making them for wants to deliver them on Christmas Day. However as you know Christmas is a busy time of the year and I know on Christmas Eve I will be busy with my family too. My question is when do you think I could make theses and have them ready so that they will still be fresh for Christmas Day?

I have baked, iced (RI) cookies on the stick and froze them. They tasted great...the only thing is that sometimes the colour fades in the icing....I can't see why you couldn't do them in the next few weeks...

anyone?????

I would think that you could have them made and ready to go a few days before Christmas. I made sugar cookies (NFSC w/Antonia's icing) for my sons birthday; I made the icing and cookies 4 days before and still had leftovers a week later (of course we kept them in an airtight container) and they were still fresh and yummy.

There is a tutorial on CC Home Page on "How to Bake & Decorate Cookies" that uses butter in the recipe and she suggests not keeping them longer than 10 days....however, I made several cookie bouquets for Valentine's Day for a local florist in a pinch and I used a shortening recipe (harder cookies) and they kept for a very long time!! Hope this helps! thumbs_up.gif

Hi, I hate to sound stupid but how do you make a cookie bouquet. I have seen them and they are so cute but I don't know how to make them

Bake and ice cookies on a stick and put several of them together, say in a coffee mug or cute pail or something of the sort and you have a bouquet of cookies. Some people add them to actual flower arrangements...did some for a couple of florists on V-day!!! Very cute icon_biggrin.gif
