It’s no secret that I love to cook. A lot. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue or a five course dinner, I tend to go all out. But when it comes to baking, I have traditionally kept it simpler. Baking requires more time, patience and attention to gather all the ingredients and accouterments.
Or it did, until Chic Cookies came on the scene. Chic Cookies is the brainchild of Meaghan Mountford, a work at home mom. The company sells cookie decorating kits that include everything from gel food dyes for the icing to cookie cutters to recipes.
The GOOD: These kits come beautifully packed in a brown and teal box with a brown satin ribbon. Inside is literally everything you need to decorate: two cookie cutters, five dyes, frosting bags, couplers, decorating tips, rubber bands, cookie scrapers, a guidebook and more. There is even a color chart to help you find the right shades (and how to get them).
The BAD: I was surprised to find the cookie cutters to be old school metal ones. On the positive, sometimes metal does cut better than plastic. Sometimes.
MONEY MATTERS: The kits retail for $25 and is available on the Chic Cookies website.
The MOM VERDICT
Sarah says: I love this cookie kit. It really does have everything you need to decorate cookies. As a cookie decorating novice, I also appreciated the step by step guides and reference cards that are included as well. This would be a fantastic hostess gift. And don’t worry if you can’t get this in time for Thanksgiving. Chic Cookies offers dozens of kids commemorating many occasions from the holidays to just because.
