It's lunch time, hooraaaaaay! Make room up on that bench in the canteen for our favourite regular DIY contributor Erin Hung of Berinmade please – because Erin is back today with another very sweet (literally) DIY tutorial that I think you're going to love. Over to you Erin!
When I came up with this idea of using cookies as numbered escort cards,
doubling them as wedding favours, I quickly called up my friend and
go-to stylist guru Jillian Manger. Not only does she have the best
style—just have look at her blog and you’ll see—she also makes the best
chocolate chip cookies in the world.
The result is a batch of delicious
cookies packaged as escort cards so that not only do your guests get
directed to the right table, they also have home made cookies to take
away as favours. Just make sure they don’t get eaten before your guests
get taken to their tables!

Anyway, we ended eating a lot of these cookies when the girls came around to shoot this DIY project. And let me tell you, they were good. Special thanks also to Holly Rattray who baked up a separate batch for these yummy shots you see below.
Here are the ingredients from Jillian’s recipe:
Ingredients:
1 set of numbered cookie cutters 1 Cup butter 2 Cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 Cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 Cups oats 2 Cups chocolate chip (1 cup milk chocolate + 1 cup white chocolate)
For the Kraft name card
Cello bags Lace and Ric Rac Ribbons Kraft tags
Cookie Instructions
1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each.
3. Mix in vanilla.
4. In a separate mixing bowl stir together dry ingredients.
5. Slowly add to egg mixture and mix well.
6. Stir in chocolate chips.
7. Bake 350 F (or 160 C) degrees for about 9 minutes.
8. Cut the cookies out with cutters before they cool and harden. Package into cello bags, with a piece of kraft card as backer. Tie together with a lacy ribbon and attach a calligraphy name tag to the bag.
Enjoy!
