My friend Sue had asked me to make cookie favors for a baby shower that she was hosting, and we decided that onesies and teddy bears would be perfect. I ended up making three batches of my favorite homemade sugar cookie recipe - this made about 60 cookies, since she needed 24 favors and each favor would have one of each cookie, and I always make extra to allow for mess-ups!
Since the baby shower invitations were done in lavender, I went with that color theme for the royal icing.
I had bought little cellophane favor bags to package them in, but the onesie cookies were too big and wouldn't fit! So I had to resort to using ziplock sandwich bags with the "ziplock" cut off. Then I tied them with raffia and a custom tag (thanks to my husband for staying up late and helping me package them!).
Adorable! I love the packaging.
