    You’re kidding me right? These are not only gorgeous but they look sooooooooo delicious. Absolutely my type of cookie box!

  4. Cold-Respond5072

    Comparison is the thief of joy. They look wonderful.

  5. purplekittykatgal

    I know the flair says no recipe but can you provide the names? Some of these look cool and I’d like to do some sleuthing!

    Not impressive?? You did a GREAT job on these! You made so many- and if they taste as good as they look, I just know they will be perfect! Happy Holidays and give yourself the credit you 100% deserve! β€οΈπŸ’šπŸŽ„πŸ₯°

  7. turkey_sub56

    I’ve never seen a cookie box with this much variation! They all look delicious

  8. UndercoverBunny0701

  9. manicuresandmimosas

    Your chocolate chip cookies have the perfect texture!!!!!!!!

  10. GayFlan

    Smashing. Slide 7, on the bottom? Are those iced oatmeal cookies? Looks great

  11. Brave-Painting3180

    I would say that when your set up looks like an actual bakery, it is just as impressive and pretty as what everyone else is posting. What an impressive amount of work!!!! It made me smile.

  12. Pure-Smile-7329

    They’re beautiful!! And scrumptious-looking.

  13. Adorable_Cat_4790

  15. advictoriam5

    You’re right, not pretty at all. They’re beautiful!

  16. nothingbutthetruth83

    Comparison is the theif of happiness! Maybe some have done more, but more than most have not done half as much or have it look nearly as amazing as yours. I bet it all tasted as good as it looked – be proud of what you did!

  17. Fast_Cod1883

    Really great form, thickness and texture on all of them. Looks very professional. Do you have more than one oven or just assembly line them?

    Selections are pretty, and delicious. Excellent job. Next year, you can plan it early. Then buy the ingredients that are on sale throughout the year. Bake them starting ASAP for sugar cut out cookies, drop cookies. But freezing them by scooping them. Store them in cookie containers.
    I use these – https://a.co/d/2KEDb2T
    Occasionally, when I had emergency orders. I order some chocolate chips from Guittard. I just need to pick up at their office in Burlingame.
    For flour, sugars, eggs and baking supplies. I go to Restaurant Depot and Costco Business Center. If you have a network of friends as pastry chefs, restauranteurs. They’ll give you tips where they go.
    Good luck next year!
