Neighbor Christmas Gift: Store-Bought Cookies.
Do you love to give cookies out at Christmas but don’t have the time to make them homemade this year? That’s ok. Store-bought cookies are a delicious and fun gift as well.
These Mother’s Animal Cookies in Reindeer Games shapes mixed with Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Mint Star cookies are so cute mixed.
Put in a cute candy cup, these are quick to make, pretty, and delicious.
I love that they have the same-sized sprinkles on them; it almost makes them look like they came packaged together.
The mix of the dark chocolate mint stars with the sugar cookies makes for a delicious and interesting combo—it’s fun and sophisticated in one.
My kids pick out the reindeers and I like the stars. The mixture of dark mint chocolate cookies and sugar cookies is sure to please neighbors with varying taste buds.
I decided to mix these two varieties of store-bought cookies together because they are about the same size, have the same sized sprinkles, gave a variety of flavor and color, and have a similar cookie texture.
Further, I mixed them because Trader Joe’s Mint cookies were cheaper than the Mother’s and brought the price of this gift down.
You only need a few supplies to put these together and they can be made in about a minute or two for each one—all you have to do it mix, fill, wrap and tie.
