How to Bake Cookies for Special Occasions
Hosting a party is connected to so many wonderful emotions and preparations. Coming up with the theme, decorations and menu can be truly exciting. You will have to put all of your creative efforts into the process.
All of these steps, however, could be overwhelming. It takes planning and a lot of time to prepare the perfect party or special occasion. You will have to make some compromises, in order to complete all of the steps on time.
The menu is an important aspect of the party. Thinking about it carefully and including appropriate meals and appetizers will make guests feel good and welcomed.
Cookies can be included in any party menu. They look palatable and they are easy to make. Cookies will turn into the perfect dessert if you have no time to make something more complicated or if your budget is limited. Decorating your favorite cookies in an appropriate manner will help you create an amazing dessert platter.
Baking cookies for special occasions is simple and fun. Use your favorite recipe and modify the cookies to correspond to the party theme and atmosphere.
Keep It Simple and Find Appropriate Recipes
Getting prepared for a party means being certain in all of the steps. This includes food, as well.
Select a cookie recipe that you know and that you have already tested. Experimenting with new recipes could result in failure. Test the recipe in advance, if you have enough time for culinary trials. You should otherwise go for a well-known recipe.
Everybody loves traditional cookies. It does not have to be something amazingly complicated in order to make people feel happy. Here is a traditional recipe that you can use for your next special occasion.
You will need three and a half cups of flour, two cups of sugar, two tablespoons of butter, two eggs, half a cup of milk, two teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt and vanilla extract.
A hand mixer will be most appropriate. Get a large bowl and mix the sugar and butter. Eggs and milk go in next. Once you are done mixing, start adding the dry ingredients – flour, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt. Your dough is ready and you can now form cookies. Get cookies lightly floured and bake in a preheated oven.
Favorite Cookies in Special Shapes
It is all about the shape of the cookie. Choose forms that correspond to the party theme and that will look good.
A heart-shaped cookie is appropriate for a bridal shower or an anniversary party. Christmas tree cookies will be best for Christmas and the winter holidays.
You can make cookies in any shape that is appropriate. They can be turned into diapers, horseshoes, rugby balls and even famous tourism attractions. It is all about the theme and the favorite activities of the people that the party is dedicated to.
Choose Colors Carefully
Apart from the shape, you will have to select the best color that correspond to the decorations and that fit into the theme.
Food colorants and icing are your weapons. Use them wisely. Color and texture will add to the appeal of the cookies, turning them into works of art rather than into mere desserts. Be creative and experiment with toppings, letters and other types of decorations.
Cookies can be transformed into any object and this quality makes them perfect for parties and special occasions, including Halloween, baby showers, and just about any event. Remember to have fun and to look creatively at the process. Your simplest cookie recipe could transform into something unique and very special.

Baked: $19.76 Hip. Cool. Fashion-forward. These aren’t adjectives you’d ordinarily think of applying to baked goods.Think again. Not every baker wants to re-create Grandma’s pound cake or cherry pie. Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito certainly didn’t, when they left their advertising careers behind, pooled their life savings, and opened their dream bakery, Baked, in Brooklyn, New York, a few years back. The visions that danced in their heads were of other, brand-new kinds of confections…Things like a Malt Ball Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting, which captures the flavor of their favorite Whoppers candies (and ups the ante with a malted milk ball garnish). Things like spicy Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits that really wake up your taste buds at breakfast time. Things like a Sweet and Salty Cake created expressly for adults who are as salt-craving ?as they are sweet-toothed.Which is not to say that Lewis and Poliafito sidestep tradition absolutely. Their Chocolate Pie (whose filling uses Ovaltine) pays loving homage to the classic roadside-diner dessert. Their Baked Brownies will wow even the most discriminating brownie connoisseur. And their Chocolate Chip Cookies? Words cannot describe. Whether trendsetting or tried-and-true, every idea in this book is freshly Baked. |
