Cookie Favors: DIY Chocolate Chip Cookies in CD Sleeves

I love cookie favors! Especially when the cookies are homemade and delicious – like these chocolate chip cookies! I’ve made cookies from this recipe easily more than a dozen times. Everyone loves these soft, delicious cookies and I assure you that you will too! They would be perfect wedding favors and one of the highlights of your cookie table. Not only am I giving you the recipe, but free downloadable labels for your cookie favors designed for IW readers by the talented Brittany over at Pink Peacock Designs. All you will need to wrap these awesome favors are some white CD sleeves, full sheet labels
for printing out your free labels and scissors (scallop)
.

Chocolate Chip Cafe Cookies (These are like the big, fat, chewy cookies that you find in cafes – only better!)
Makes 18 big cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Cream together melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended.
Beat in vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy.
Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.

Drop the cookies 1/4 cup at a time onto baking sheet. Cookies should be approximately three inches apart.

Bake for 21 minutes on non-stick pans or 15-17 minutes on regular cookie sheet. Cool on baking racks.

Print out your cookie favor labels on adhesive paper.
Cut out labels with scalloping scissors. Adhere to white CD sleeves. Voila! Your fabulous favors are good to go!

Can’t wait to try these cookies. They look delish!!
I’ve packaged cookies in the CD sleeves for a wedding before. We found that we had to put the cookie in a cello bag first as the oil from the cookie bled into the paper of the CD sleeve.
Just a tidbit from my limited experience.

Do you have any other cookie recipes that produces cookies the same size as the Chocolate Chip Cafe cookies? I am a military spouse and am going to make these cookies and as well as others for a squadron fundraiser.

DeAndrea, I don’t have any other cookie recipes for this specific size, but check out allrecipes.com. Even if you don’t find one on there specifically for the bistro sized cookie, find a recipe for the traditional sized cookie and try using the quarter cup measure just like you did for the chocolate chip recipes. You’ll probably have to cook them longer. I have never tried this with any other recipes, but it’s worth experimenting. Chewy peanut butter cookies…. yummm!!

I’m SO set on doing this for my wedding favours, but I tested it out with the cookie recipe I want to use (Chocolate chip shortbread instead) and the cookie oil soaked right through the CD sleeve- I’d have to package the cookies at least a day ahead so that won’t work. The best alternative I’ve found so far is glassine envelopes.

What temperature do you bake the cookies at?
