Many people like to show off when someone is born. This is not surprising of course, because when someone is born, you naturally want to celebrate. This is because it is not just something when someone is born. You can do this in a number of ways. For example, you can choose to make a cake for this. However, this can be quite boring. Therefore, birth cookies can be a more fun alternative.
What are birth cookies?
Now you will probably wonder what birth cookies are exactly that. This is pretty easy to explain. Birth cookies are in fact cookies that you give, just like birth cake, to people who come to celebrate the birth of a child.
The great thing about birthing cookies is that you can decorate them the way you want to. So you can do different decorations on it that you yourself seem to like. This is of course very nice if you want to remain original with the cookies you make.
For example, it can be fun for a girl to choose a cookie with pink decorations on top. Pink is the color most associated with girls. You can then choose a pink icing and pink and white mice on top. This of course looks very nice, but is also very tasty to eat.
For boys it can be fun to choose a nice blue color. This is a color that suits boys very well. You can then choose a blue icing and white and blue mice on top. This is of course very tasty to eat and beautiful to see.
Types of cookies
There are many different types of cookies that you can choose when you are looking for a birth cookie. This is because there are many flavors of cookies that you can go for. The most standard flavor that most people go for is the shortbread cookie. This is a cookie that is made of wheat flour with sugar, butter and eggs.
You can also choose to do this on speculoos. Speculaas is of course very tasty to eat. However, you must then look at what you are going to do. Not everyone finds everything equally tasty to eat on speculaas. Chocolate with speculaas is something that most people like to eat.
Decorations
There are also many different decorations you can put on a birth cookie. The theme for such a cookie is often the gender of the child. However, you can also choose to do another theme. For example, you can also choose to do the birth itself as a theme.
For example, you can have a child put on each cookie. You often have special icing for this. This can be very tasty and is also nice to see. There are not many people who choose this option. If you want to be original, this is a nice option.
You can also choose to make a combination. For example, it can also be very nice to choose to put a baby on a cookie with the colors of the sex of the baby. Many people find this very fun to do and it also fits very well with the theme of a birth.
Baking Cookies
The moment you start having people over for a birth, you may not have that much time to bake cookies yourself. This is because it still takes quite a bit of work. Especially decorating the cookies is a lot of work to do yourself. This is something you should take into account.
It is not very difficult to make cookies. This is because the recipe is often very easy and then you can just put them in the oven. This is also something fun to do with your partner. However, it is important to keep in mind that it takes a lot of time to decorate everything.
If you choose not to do it yourself, you can also choose to have the cookies made at a bakery. A bakery makes very tasty cookies that they also decorate themselves for you. The advantage is that the cookies are also decorated by the baker. He often has a steady hand and can make the cookies as beautiful as you want them to be.
