Consider the time of year in which you are throwing the baby shower or baptism. If it is close to Thanksgiving, consider cookie favors in the shapes of turkeys. Whether they are store bought or homemade cookies, make sure they are embellished. Royal icing, melted chocolate, sprinkles, and various other toppings are great choices for dressing up plain cookies. For Thanksgiving turkey cookies, decorate the turkey feathers in fall colors and make sure each turkey has eyes. Make them extra cute since they are celebrating a baby. Place two or more turkey cookies in a treat bag, tie with ribbon or string, and don't forget the party favor gift tag or label, which might read "For our little turkey!"

Make cookies in angel shapes. Use all one shape, or find two or more cookie cutters in different angel shapes. Ways to embellish angels might be candy silver balls, pink and white sugar crystals and gold or silver fabric bows tied onto each cookie or adhered to the surface of the cookie with a little royal icing. Place two or more angel cookies in each treat bag, tie with a gold or silver ribbon, and include a gift tag to finish it off that says, "God bless our little angel on this her baptism day!"

Another idea is cookies in the shapes of stars and moons. Decorate the stars with yellow sugar crystals, and the moons with light blue sugar crystals. Embellish each cookie with candy silver balls. Pipe melted chocolate across each cookie in the same color as the sugar crystals, or use white chocolate so it contrasts with the sugar. Once the cookies are decorated and have dried, place two or more cookies in each of the treat bags. Tie each bag with ribbons that complement the look and finish it off with a party gift tag. The stars and moons cookies might have a gift tag that reads "You are the sun and the moon and the stars to me!"

Tips & Warnings
Remember, when you are decorating your cookies, avoid decorating with nuts or have a few cookie party favors on hand without nuts for guests with nut allergies.
Consider the weather when storing and transporting your cookie party favors. If it's hot, travel with them in a cooler to keep icing and chocolate from melting.
