Today our new "Cookie Pocket Printable" was featured on theprettyblog. Take a look here to see what it was all about.
When winter’s chills creep in we all crave some comfort and often a little cheer-me-up! Sometimes the answer to these cravings can be found hiding in the kitchen. Whether it’s a cup of tea, warm cocoa, a hearty vegetable soup or perhaps something sweet and homemade that will warm you up from the inside. We like to get creative and whip up some yummy goodies for our family and friends.
This week we were inspired to make jam heart biscuits to enjoy with our endless cups of tea here in the office, (luckily this tasty recipe can be found over on The Pretty Blog). They are delicious as a small afternoon treat or as naughty midnight snack, but we believe sharing is caring and we wanted our friends to try them too. We’ve designed a nifty little cookie pocket for your home-baked biscuits. Simply download the free printable PDF, select your favourite design from the various patterns and colours and follow the easy steps to fold your biscuit pocket. Pop in your delicious homemade goods, seal it with the printable sticker or a kiss and give it to a dear friend as a little something to say “I care for you”.
