Every year, moms inevitably receive flowers, chocolates and a greeting card for Mother’s Day. Nice…but a little boring, non? Flowers wilt. Chocolates are picked through to find specific flavors. We think we can speak for moms everywhere when we say: it’s time to get creative with your Mother’s Day gifts! The Michel and Augustin e-Bakery has delicious treats sure to please any mom, grandma and other mother figure in your life.
A Sweet Gift Box
A Michel and Augustin gift box is one of the best food gifts for Mother’s Day! These cookie treats are already baked and packaged for you in a delightful tin – no extra work required.
What’s included in Mom’s gift box? Cookie Squares, of course! Made with our authentically French recipe and simple ingredients (butter is better!), these shortbread cookies give your mom the taste of the pâtisserie without ever leaving home. We suggest choosing her favorite flavor to guarantee she’ll love her edible Mother’s Day gift. And if she’s never had Michel and Augustin Cookie Squares, she’s in for a treat! Our flavors include Dark chocolate and a pinch of sea salt, Milk chocolate and melty caramel, and Chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. Just a few reasons to love our cookies:
- They’re individually wrapped and perfectly portioned
- Cookies offer just the right amount of sugar – not too much, not too little
- They’re non-GMO and free from artificial flavors & ingredients
- Full of delicious buttery flavor
- Mom can grab and go!
A DIY Cookie Basket
You can also DIY edible Mother’s Day gifts with a little help from the Troublemakers of Taste. To make your DIY cookie basket, you’ll need Cookie Squares (any will do), a basket, some basket filler and a ribbon.
Directions:
- Add basket filler or tissue paper to the bottom of the basket to cushion the snacks.
- Then, add a variety of cookies in different forms, such as bars, bags and individually wrapped cookies.
- (Optional) You can also add extras like a coffee mug or tea for Mom to enjoy with her cookies.
- Finish off with more filler and tie the ribbon on the basket handle. You can also cover the basket with cellophane wrap and tie it with a ribbon or bow for a special finishing touch.
Homemade Shortbread Cookies
The best food gifts for Mother’s Day are often homemade. This year, put on your chef’s hat and make your mom a batch of homemade cookies using our original shortbread cookie recipe. It’s not too hard, we promise! It requires only simple ingredients you likely have in your pantry: butter, sugar, an egg, flour, and a pinch of salt. C’est tout! Put the cookies in a beautiful tin or gift basket with Cookie Squares (because you can never have too many cookies!), and you have the sweetest edible Mother’s Day gifts.
A Gourmet Soup & Cracker Basket
Mom has always comforted you, so why not give her some comfort with a DIY gourmet soup basket? It’s cozy, comforting and delicious! This edible Mother’s Day gift is also quite easy to make. All you’ll need is a tin/basket, some easy-to-prepare gourmet soups and Michel and Augustin Cheese Biscuits. You could also include homemade soup if you’re an expert in the kitchen!
Simply fill your tin with basket filler, add in soup mixes or shelf-stable soups and add finishing touches like a soup mug and cheese crackers. We suggest giving Mom two Cheese Biscuits flavors – Parmesan with mustard seeds and Comté with black pepper – so she can mix and match with her soups. A gourmet soup and cracker basket is one of the best food gifts for Mother’s Day, but it is also a great housewarming or get-well-soon gift!
Flowers + Chocolate Cookie Squares
Some moms just love flowers, we understand! Put your own special twist on the classic bouquet by pairing it with chocolate cookies. Our Cookie Squares are baked in France and flooded with chocolate ganache, giving Mom a bit of everyday decadence in each bite. You can put this edible Mother’s Day gift in a gift bag or even curate a gift basket with our shortbread cookies, savory Cheese Biscuits and other complementary goodies like coffee and tea.
