Creating a Holiday Cookie Box

My favorite holiday is upon us and I’m so excited about this series! I hope you’ll love it as much as me and make a box/tin for your favorite people. I love giving baked goods to friends and family because that of that extra special touch that it’s homemade! No one is going to turn away a tin of cookies (I mean, maybe the Grinch) and it’s a constant yummy reminder of you every time they go back into the tin for some new sweet treat. Creating a holiday cookie box during a pandemic I know this year holidays look a little different and also the idea of giving someone something seems foreign. It seems a little faux pas this year because of the heightened awareness of germs and spreading COVID. While I totally understand that, and am encouraging you to create a holiday cookie box with the safest precautions you can, you can always encourage your receivers to wipe the box off with a disinfecting wipe. Moreover, I have also read reports that COVID particles on food/baked goods are way less % than going to a store, etc. Not downplaying the entire situation by any means but just saying that the worry is a little less with food consumption.

I prefer homemade but if there are some local treats from a bakery that you are wanting someone else to try (and fall in love with), that’s a great way to spread some small and local business cheer!
