Cakes
Round cake decorated to look like a cookie
Make a giant cookie
and decorate it with frosting. Use the
Chip Chocolate Chewies recipe.
Decorations
Color theme: Choose your favorite colors. Personally, I’d go
with a royal blue and a bright yellow. But, that’s just because it
matches my
favorite apron. A cookie party is a versatile theme as far as colors go.
Make a centerpiece
with a large vase filled with wooden
spoons, a wire whisk, and rubber spatulas. Tie with a ribbon.
Hang a string
across a window and clip aprons to it, as
though it’s a window valance.
Put
giant chocolate chip cut outs on the walls.
Costumes/Dress
up
Aprons
Chef
Hats – Easily make these with a 1 ½ inch wide band of
poster board, long enough to wrap around the guest’s head. Staple a 22
inch
circle of tissue paper to the inside of the band to make the chef hat.
These
could also be made with fabric and sewn.
Games
and Activities
Kiss the Cook
(ages 3-8)
Make a large picture of a cook, complete with hat on a
poster board. Provide each guest with a cut out of a pair of lips—or
even kiss
a sticky note with lipstick and write the guest’s names on the sticky
note. Blindfold the guests,
spin them around, and have them tape lips
on the cook. The guest with their pair of lips closest to the cook’s
lips wins!
Cookie
Stack (ages
3-16)
Stack as many cookies as you can into your mouth for a
single bite. Who can get the most in their mouth for a bite? They
really do
have to take a bite. Tons of fun for a cookie party.
Decorate
Cookies
(ages 3-16)
Provide already made sugar cookies, frosting and candies and
allow the guests to decorate cookies. Write the guests names on a paper
plate
for them to keep the cookies they decorated. Bake
Cookies (ages
3-16)
Just bake cookies. For youngest guests you may want to do
something simple like the refrigerated cookie dough you just have to
set out on
cookie sheets. For older guests you can make a couple different batches
of
cookies. Have ingredients and kitchen tools out and ready to be used,
you may
even want to have some ingredients premeasured. Make sure every guest
washes
hands before helping bake cookies.
