A dozen cookies never looked so cute! Simply stack your favorite cookies on top of each other, add a ribbon, and you are finished! We used frosted gingersnap cookies from the store. You can always go the extra mile and make your own, but for those on a time crunch don&#8217;t be afraid to drop by your local bakery and pick up a box. There is a reason those cookies are sold in stores&#8230;and it&#8217;s not because they don&#8217;t taste good.<\/p>\n<p>Complete the adorable look by downloading and printing out one of our cookie tags below.
