Do you want to create a fun and simple treat that everyone can enjoy for New Year's Eve? Try the following...cookies and milk in fun celebratory glasses.
What you need:
1) Milk
(whichever you prefer)
2) Chocolate Chip Cookies with M&Ms
You can make them from home or buy them from a store. Last year, we had bought some frozen chocolate chip cookie dough with M&M's from a fundraiser. This year I think I'll just buy them from the grocery store, like Albertson's, because I'm pressed for time. Getting the M&M ones will be your pop of color for this treat.
3) Plastic Wine Glasses
I suggest "wine" glasses opposed to "champagne" glasses because the diameter is smaller. You want the cookies to sit and hang over the top. You don't want to cookie to fall in. You can also use real glass wine glasses, but I wouldn't if you're serving children and/or really intoxicated people. ;-)
I bought my plastic wine glasses last year at Smart & Final. A lot came in a package, but I saved the unused ones for this year. Dollar Tree also sells plastic wine glasses (6/pack) like the ones below:
4) Serving Tray
You can find an inexpensive, pretty silver one at the Dollar Tree or 99 Cent Store.
How & When to Serve Them:
It IS New Year's Eve, so you want to enjoy the party too!
1) Set-up the tray with the empty glasses beforehand and set it aside. Place it somewhere where people won't take an empty glass to use for their drink for the night.
2) Have the cookies ready. Either bake them the day before or the morning of OR just BUY them! Remember think...EASY!
3) At about 11:30pm as the excitement is building for Midnight, fill up the glasses half way with milk. Then, place a cookie on top each glass. Last, serve them to your guests. While guests are enjoying their goodies, pass out the noise makers and other favors. Before you know it, it will be 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Happy New Year!!!
