Cookie Scraps

My work delivery this month was another fun project that I thought would be so cute to give away as a gift. Although as usual it couldn't just go smooth and easy (if you know me you know that I am never that lucky ha ha). The idea was to deliver sugar cookies for Easter. I had a local cafe/bakery make some cookies and specifically asked the size of the cookies so that I could purchase boxes that they would easily fit into. They happily told me that the cookies were three inches on each side and that they would be square. So I bought boxes that were three and a half inches and square (can you see where I am going with this....) I picked up my cookies (that were so pretty by the way) and was excited to get them home.

And yep you guessed it the cookies did not fit in the boxes. So with the limited budget that I have to work with I decided I would cut all 80 cookies by hand and make them fit....needless to say we had cookie scraps left over that I just had to sit on the couch later and eat (wink wink).

When all was said and done I think they actually looked even cuter with cut edges because that is the edge you could see through the box. I was so excited with the outcome. And I thought this would be so fun to bring to new neighbors or as a house warming gift!!
