    so as i post here i got really cute small jars in ikea. i was looking what to put inside. today i felt like experimenting and look how cute it look.

    i made chocolate shortbread cookie to tried out the cookie cutters. i fit 9 cookies in the jar. i will make thank you cards to go with the ribbon. i will keep trying different recipes. my idea is to put vanilla and chocolate cookies. 

    what you think?? do you like it??

    Super cute! I love your idea! I think your guests will love it too! Only one question/concern: How much work is it to make all of the cookies? Will you have enough time without causing yourself stress? But I adore the idea and think they look incredible!

    Magenta! These are super cute! I love it!!!! My only concern: the color? I think white cookies would look much better, no?

    @julialimei i make cookies all the time and love it. the recipe is really easy to make an bakes in only 8 minutes. my maid of honor came up with the ideas of cookies and offer her help. the plan is to make them two days before the wedding. in one batch i made today 75 cookies. so it was easy enough at least for me.   :)

    How cute! 9 cookies... man your guests are lucky!

    I would pre-cut all the cookies, freeze them flat on parchment paper & then (once frozen completely) I'd keep them in a plastic container in the freezer. This way you don't have to put all the extra work into the favors a day or two before your wedding! You could assign an aunt or BM to do it last minute so the cookies will be fresh... :)

    Really cute idea!!!

    I love them.

    How big are the cookies and what size are the jars?

    If you have a ton of cookies to make, you can start making them way ahead. Cookies keep well in the freezer up to 6 months.

    Okay, that's great--doesn't sound like it will be too stressful at all! :-) And they look SO good! I think it will be clear to your guests how much effort you put in.

    Thank you Magenta. I just checked it out. I am making vanilla for favors and I think your cookie idea would be a great complimentary favor to go with them.

    I would still like to know what size cookie cutter you use though. Your's are the perfect size.

    @thefuturemrsgibbs  the jars where 2.99 for a package of 4. the ribbon i bought it in clearance at michaels at .25 cents the roll. and the cookies are so simple so i think it will be 1.75 to 2.00 the favor. and im making 30

    They ended up turning out great!  I'm happy you had a successful trial run of what you wanted to do so you wouldn't have to go with something else, like you were worried about!
