Yesterday I talked about losing weight. To balance things out, today I have a fun dessert idea. Cookies in a can. Remember when I did bread in a can? So fun! This is a different take on the same idea.
First I made our very favorite cookies. Seriously these are hard to keep in our house- they are gone quickly!
Just like before, I used a fruit can. (you could probably use any can but the thought of cookies in a cream of chicken soup can sounds awful to me) I took off the paper label. I added 6 cookies to my regular sized pear can. I always use my favorite favorite cookie scoop from Sweet Baking Supply. I love that thing. It changed my cookie making life. (dramatic much?)
I then printed out my “Life is short, eat dessert first” printable. And used double stick tape to attach it to my can. Super duper easy. At first I added a muffin tin and some twine- an obvious cute choice. But it was a total pain! It took longer than anything else. And my daughter had to hold it down to help me. Silly huh? Looks pretty cute though:
An easier approach would be using cellophane and wrapping the cookies and then tying off with twine. Still cute but takes less time.

As always- these are for 30days followers and for personal use only. Thanks!
