This year’s theme for my annual company picnic is “Hot August Days.” Whilst perusing cookie cutters online, my coworker came across this 57 Chevy Cookie Cutter.
I was “hired” to bake 300 cookie favors for the picnic. The biggest feat for me to date, and it was a huge success!
All cars were to be identical red chevys. I baked the week before, and froze them until it was time to decorate. I knew 300 cookies was a lot, but until they were taking over my freezer I didn’t really realize how crazy this was going to be.
Assembly-line was the way to go. I started with the tires…
Then added windows and the side panel…

Then outlined the cars…

Filled in the tires, then the cars, then the windows and side panels…
Then finished them off with the side-line and “hubcaps.” I had originally planned on leaving the tires black, but my husband INSISTED that it looked dumb without the white on them. I thought it was the white-walled tires, but my husband corrected me, they are the hubcaps. OKAY.
Then each cookie was bagged and tied with ribbon. Here is the finished product!
Did I mention I have a full-time 8-5 job? This was all done after work hours and on my weekend… thank GOODNESS I had the help of my husband, my mom, and my best friend. There is no way this would have been done without them!
Here is my friend Chelsea (who helped so much with the decorating!!) enjoying a cookie. Or as my mom says, the car is “zooming” into her mouth. Haha…

How in the world did you make 300-’57 Chevy cookies!! Girl, you are awesome!! I would have politely said, “No!” lol Thanks for adding them to the link party!
Haha yeah it was pretty insane. Thank god for freezing before decorating and the help of my mom, husband, and bestie with decorating and bagging! In the end I’m glad I took it on, that’s how I paid for my KA Sheila!
