So your man is away on a trip and you already miss him? Whatever the purpose of his trip may be you want to send him a gift to express how much you miss him. You might question yourself, “Then what would make a excellent gift? “What’s a fantastic gift that’s not too expensive and will make feel loved.?”?”
Why not bake him a personalized, tasty sweet?
They’re inexpensive, tasty and you can make him a variety of different kinds each time. So what are some of the best ones that are simple to make and won’t break or melt during delivery? Cookies of all different kinds, small cakes and cupcakes or pies all would be fantastic choices and would be a huge hit for him, but I will focus on just cookies this time
Cookies make fantastic “gifts for him” because are simple to pack, make multiple treats that will last for several snack times and are simple to make into different varieties. Learn a favorite recipe and the next time you’ll make the cookies quicker from start to end. No-bake cookies are the simplest to make since all you’re doing is the prep work. You could mix them with all different types of toppings too from mini milk chocolate chips to white-chocolate, M&Ms, sprinkles to colored sugar and more. The most common and simplest cookies to make are traditional chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter and chewy oatmeal raisin. But, the most fun to make, simplest to personalize and ones I believe make the best gifts are cut-out sugar cookies.
What are some things your boyfriend likes to do? What’s his favorite sport or favorite sports team? Does he like riding bikes, running or fishing? Is he a musician, does he like magic, cars? You could make him cookies in the shapes of things geared around his leisure activities or even in the shape of your name. Make him a cookie in the shape of his favorite baseball team’s cap, fish-shaped cookies (if he likes to fish) or in the shape of his favorite car. If you’d like to send him romantic cookies then make him some in the shape of hearts and kisses. You first need to get a recipe for cut-out sugar cookies and for the icing (or frosting). Then just buy the supplies that you don’t already have in your kitchen. You don’t need to get all the fancy equipment just the basics, but do store and organize them so they’ll be simple to access later.
The basic supplies you’ll need to make the recipe will be some mixing bowls and wooden spoons (they’re the strongest), measuring cups and spoons, wax paper, rolling pin, metal spatula, cookie sheets, white paper and huge index cards. If you already have an electric mixer it’ll make mixing the dough much simpler, but it isn’t necessary. Many of these supplies you can get at Wal-Mart, dollar stores or craft stores at inexpensive prices. An simple way to customize the shape of your cookies is to find images of the desired image on Google then make simple drawings on the index cards and cut out the shapes. Later you’ll place the shapes on the dough and cut around them. Use shapes that don’t have too many narrow appendages or points since they can break simpler during delivery. So for example let’s say his favorite animal was a dolphin. Rather than look up images of dolphins it’ll be simpler to find images of “dolphin cookie cutters”. Next draw the image or just make an outline of dots and then connect them.
Once the dough is complete roll it out at least ¼ inch thick so they’ll end up being stronger for delivery. Use your homemade cookie shapes and follow the baking instructions on the recipe.
Now comes for the best part. Now you’ll get to decorate them. Besides the icing recipe, the only supplies you’ll need for decorating will be many small bowls for the different colors of icing, a package of food coloring, small paint brushes (to use only for baking!)!), pastry brush (preferably a couple or you’ll have to clean them each time you switch colors), toothpicks, an airtight container for storage in fridge before delivery, more wax paper and a decorative cookie tin to place the finished product in. You could use confectioner’s sugar frosting that comes packaged in a plastic container, but icing will stick better to the cookies. Determine what colors you will be using for the icing and place the colors in the various bowls. Start with more basic techniques the first time around and then learn the more advanced techniques later. There are some fantastic books you could get from the library to improve your cookie decorating techniques. Take pictures of each better and watch your improvement. The simple stuff is more than effective and the recipes will guide you through them. The box from the food coloring will tell you how to achieve the exact colors.
Pack the cookies in a small decorative tin box and cover them in wax paper. Cushion the bottom of tin and top with packing bubbles or crumbled wax paper. Take them to the post office and delivery them with the USPS’s priority flat rate service. It’s more affordable than next day air and still arrives quick in 2-3 days. If you’re not from the US you will need to research the least expensive way to deliver.
When your boyfriend sees the personalized cookies he will have the largest smile on his face. Your work will pay off and he’ll be thinking about you with each bite! And make sure to write him a romantic “Gift Message for Him” to stir up those butterflies in his stomach. I would like my girlfriend to send me a batch of cookies in the shape of my favorite football team: the Ohio State Buckeyes. It would one of the cutest gifts she could make since I know she went out of her way to make something she knew I liked. Trust me, it will work like a charm.
