Tips & Warnings
You can also make your bouquet out of chocolate chip cookie dough if you don't want to spend time icing them.
You can wrap a red ribbon around each stick or around the whole group of sticks.
Put your cookie bouquet into a glass vase or in a long floral box like a bouquet of flowers when you give this gift to your Valentine.
Place these cookies in a vase and set them on the table as a table setting.
