Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

Planning a baby shower often means baking in advance — and that’s totally doable! Most of our cookie recipes can be made ahead without losing their soft texture or fresh-baked flavor. Once your cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, place them in freezer-safe bags or containers, separating layers with parchment paper, and freeze for up to 2 months.

When it’s time to serve, simply thaw the cookies at room temperature for about 30 minutes and refresh them in a low-temperature oven (150 °C / 300 °F) for a few minutes if you want that just-baked warmth. If your cookies are iced or decorated, freeze them before adding the icing for best results — then decorate once they’ve thawed to keep your designs looking perfect.

Pair Your Cookies With Drinks

Every unforgettable baby shower deserves a refreshing drink to match your favorite cookies. If you’re serving rich chocolate-chip cookies, pair them with a creamy Italian Cream Soda — its bubbly vanilla flavor perfectly balances the sweetness. For something tropical, a Detox Island Green Smoothie made with mango, pineapple, and spinach brings a fresh, vibrant touch to fruit-filled cookies. Hosting a pink-themed shower? A Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri adds a frosty, festive pop of color that looks stunning beside strawberry crunch cookies. When the weather’s warm, a Peach Green Tea Lemonade offers a light, tangy sip that complements buttery shortbread or sugar cookies. And for a bright, sunny twist, the Sunrise Mocktail delivers layers of orange, grenadine, and sparkling fizz — a cheerful, citrusy pairing that makes any baby-shower dessert table glow.
