First Day of School & Monster Cookies

Yesterday the boys started third grade.  I can't believe they are getting so old!  I remember my third grade very fondly, I hope the boys will do the same.  To help ease the craziness of the *First Day of School* I made *Monster Cookies* for the boys to enjoy and to hand out their teachers (past and present).  I followed the recipe from the Baked: New Frontiers in Baking cook book.  Actually, I never heard about Monster Cookies until getting the Baked book.  They are a classic cookie and are typically made with peanut butter, rolled oats and M&M's.  Of course you have to use a full sized ice cream scoop to scoop out the dough so you end up with monster-sized delicious cookies.  Download the Cookie Band HERE.

For the packaging the cookies these simple steps were followed:

1.  Wrap cookies in parchment or wax paper.  Tape on back side to hold paper in place.

       

2.  Place band over the center of cookie (use a piece of double sided-tape to hold in place).

       

3.  Close band around cookie and seal with sticker or tape.  If I had remembered, I would have also tied with baker's twine.

       

4.  Enjoy or distribute.

P.S.  I will upload the file for the 'Happy First Day of School'  band shortly.
