FROSTED COOKIE BOUQUET
If you're looking for an easy yet impressive cookie bouquet recipe, you've found it! In the spring, I cut these almond paste cookies into flower shapes and insert the pops into a block of foam fitted into a basket or bowl. You can cover the foam with tissue paper or cellophane. Add a bow if you like. Not only do the frosted almond cookies look pretty, they taste good, too. In fact, I make them all year long. -Krissy Fossmeyer, Huntley, Illinois

COOKIE BOUQUET COOKIES
I found this from someone else online, and fell in love with it. These are exactly like the cookies I have ordered from Cookie Bouquet. The lemon is what really does it. Make sure to use high-quality, super-fine granulated sugar, as this combined with the powdered sugar gives that melt-in-your-mouth feel. My husband and I enjoy decorating them together.

FROSTED COOKIES
Cookie recipes are just about infinite, because almost anything can be shaped into a circle and baked: hence gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free "cookies." But the basic cookie contains three key ingredients: butter, flour and sugar. That combination has not been bettered, and it can be varied in so many ways that, really, it's the only recipe you need.

Tips:
- Choose the right cookies: Not all cookies are created equal for cookie bouquets. Choose cookies that are sturdy enough to hold their shape when frosted and assembled, such as sugar cookies, shortbread cookies, or gingerbread cookies.
- Make sure your cookies are completely cooled before frosting them: If your cookies are still warm, the frosting will melt and become runny. Let your cookies cool completely on a wire rack before you start frosting them.
- Use a stiff frosting: A stiff frosting will help to hold the cookie bouquet together. If you're using a buttercream frosting, make sure to beat it until it reaches stiff peaks.
- Be creative with your assembly: There are endless ways to assemble a cookie bouquet. You can use a variety of colors and shapes of cookies, and you can also add other decorations, such as sprinkles, nonpareils, or edible flowers.
- Wrap your cookie bouquet carefully: Once you've assembled your cookie bouquet, wrap it carefully in plastic wrap or cellophane. This will help to protect the bouquet from damage during transport.
Conclusion:
Cookie bouquets are a fun and festive way to celebrate any occasion. They're also a great way to show your loved ones how much you care. With a little planning and effort, you can create a beautiful and delicious cookie bouquet that will be the star of the show.
