Tips for Gifting Mom Baked Goods

  • Make sure to store soft and chewy cookies in an airtight container for gifting. I love getting a glass cookie jar, like this, as it's the gift that keeps on giving!
  • If you're baking cookies in advance, you can freeze them so they stay fresh up until Mother's Day.
  • Biscotti is a great treat to bake a day or two in advance as it's crispy and stays fresh for a few days, even if left out.
  • Make sure to write a nice thoughtful card to go with your gift, Moms love a good card!
  • Adding fresh flowers is always a good idea! Whether it's on the breakfast in bed tray or a small freshly picked bouquet to go with a homemade brownies. There's truly nothing better than baked goods and blooms!
