If you like, you can make your own cookie bouquet at home pretty easily.
I recommend baking sugar cookies and using a cookie cutter with a hole in the middle, such as a flower.
Once you have frosted your cookies, fill the hole with a gumdrop or other similar candy.
Then stick one end of a cooking skewer into the gumdrop and the other end into a Styrofoam ball that you have glued into the bottom of a vase or other container.
Arrange your cookies in the vase, cutting some skewers shorter than others to more closely resemble a flower arrangement.
Another alternative is to insert the wooden skewers into the bottom of your cookies before baking.
If you use this method, be sure to gently push the dough around the skewer after inserting it. This method allows you to use a greater variety of cookie cutters, as they don't require a hole in the middle.
Just be sure to make cookies that will not be too heavy once baked.
At http//www.best-cookie-recipes.com/cookie-bouquet.html you could see a variety of cookie baskets and cookie bouquets, they're a great project to complete with your children to deliver to a neighbor or a teacher.
Experiment a little with different shapes and arrangements, and most of all, have fun!
