Baby Shower - Thank you gifts

Even though we had a fairly small baby shower for my brother and his wife (mostly family and some close family friends), we still had little giveaways for thank you gifts.  I wanted to keep it fairly simple so I made chocolate chip cookies.  I packed 2 cookies in a clear plastic treat bag, and used the stickers found in this post to seal them up.  All in all I ended up with 32 little packages of yummy goodness for people to enjoy.



I was quite happy with how they turned out.  The stickers worked like a charm and the cookies were also quite tasty.

Curious about the cookies?  I actually based my recipe on Alton Brown's, The Chewy.  Although I did have to change a few things when I discovered that I didn't have enough brown sugar for doubling the recipe.  So what did I do?  I substituted part of the brown sugar with more white sugar and some molasses.  I couldn't actually give any measurements since I sort of just threw it in.  I may try to recreate it next time, maybe take down some measurements too.  I actually like my accidental cookies a bit more than the original recipe (which I have made a number of times).  In my opinion they turned out chewier, more moist, and had a richer flavor (if you like a slightly molasses flavor).

On a side note, I now want to make pinwheel everything!  Stickers, cards, tags, random stuff like that.
