• For kids, you can always add cows or cookie monster to your theme and decorations

Food 

• There will be lots of sweet, so some salty finger snacks, like pretzels and goldfish, are a good idea OR you can keep with the theme and make cookie shaped salty snacks like mini pizzas or round crackers with cheese
• A Variety of Cookies are a must!

 Favors  

• An excellent idea is to have containers for guests to take home their favorite cookies-that way you don't have leftovers!
• If it's a cookie making party, you can include wooden spoons
• You can also include cartons of chocolate milk powder with the take-home cookies

Delightful Partying,
