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.

  4. 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.

  5. Thanks for the great tip Lisa!

  9. Awesome Emily. Thanks for sharing!!

  10. These cookies are sooooo so good! I’ll be making these again for sure. Thanks for the great recipe and the creative way to give them.

  11. Thanks for the comment DeAndrea! Glad you liked ‘em. (I’m craving one this very minute! I think I’ll whip up a batch this weekend!)

  12. 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.

  13. 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!!

  14. 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.

  15. What temperature do you bake the cookies at?

  16. 325 degrees.
