anyone make sugar cookies for favors?

i planned to make sugar cookies with royal icing for the favors for sam's birthday. and i think we're doing a small candy buffet too since dh just heard about them and thinks it's neat.

i'm getting 1-2 little things for the kids too from oriental trading - 

how many cookies would you make per person? would you package them up to give out, or display them on the candy buffet too?

i have off thursday and friday so i make the dough, shapes and bake and then freeze them a few days before the party - thaw and decorate at night after work for 2-3 nights  i can't really start until the kids are in bed, which will be after 9/9:30.

I think it's a cute idea to wrap them up (maybe 2-3 per, depending on how big they are) and give them as take-home favors since it sounds like they'll have plenty of sugar to munch on during the party itself.

I make them all the time. The time consuming part is the royal icing part. I would do 2-3 cookies per bag depending on the size of the cookies. You could have them in clear little pouches with ribbon that matches the colors of the party. If you wanted you could  also have them in a cute basket on display.

 

I also sent you a pm.

I made cupcake shaped sugar cookies for A's first bday. I gave each person one because they were on the bigger side. I also made chocolate covered pretzel rods-the colors were brown and pink so I melted the chocolate and dipped the pretzel in the pink and then took a spoon and went across the pretzels with the brown. Does that make sense? Oh and the cookies I baked one night and decorated another day, it was time consuming but worth it I got tons of compliments!
