EDIBLE COOKIE BASKET

I was reading the message boards and someone was looking for different ideas for Easter Baskets! Then I remembered this and though it's too late for this year, maybe you'll try this for next year or for any special day! The kids love it! I've made small bowls and filled it with candy at a buffet table and also on the coffee table with munchies...another great recipe card idea...can't take the credit.

This cookie basket is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven when you're ready to serve.
