What You’ll Need:
- Baked Christmas cookies
- Transparent cellophane or food-grade plastic wrap
- Decorative ribbon or twine
- Gift tags or labels
- Scissors
Step 1: Let Your Cookies Cool
Before you start packaging, ensure that your freshly baked Christmas cookies have completely cooled. This prevents condensation from forming inside the packaging, which could make the cookies soggy.
Step 2: Prepare Your Packaging Materials
Cut your cellophane or food-grade plastic wrap into square pieces large enough to cover each cookie individually. Cut lengths of decorative ribbon or twine, enough to tie around each wrapped cookie. Keep your gift tags or labels handy.
Step 3: Wrap Each Cookie Individually
Take a square piece of cellophane or plastic wrap and place a cookie in the center. Gather the edges of the wrap and carefully twist them around the cookie, forming a neat bundle. Secure the wrap at the top with a small piece of ribbon or twine.
Step 4: Decorate Your Packaged Cookies
To make your wrapped cookies extra special, tie a decorative ribbon or twine bow around each package. This adds a festive touch and makes them visually appealing. You can get creative with different colored ribbons or twines to match your holiday theme.
Step 5: Add a Personalized Touch
Attach a gift tag or label to each package, adding a personal message or the name of the recipient. This step gives your packaged cookies a thoughtful and customized touch, perfect for gifting to friends and family.
Step 6: Storing and Gifting
Place your beautifully wrapped Christmas cookies in an airtight container or cookie tin to preserve freshness. If you plan on gifting them, arrange the packages in a gift box or basket lined with festive tissue paper or shredded paper for an elegant presentation.
By following these simple steps, you can wrap your Christmas cookies with care and make them look as delightful as they taste. Whether you’re sharing them with loved ones or participating in a cookie exchange, your packaged Christmas biscuits will surely be a hit!
Happy baking and joyful packaging this holiday season!
