“With You As My Teacher I’ll Be One Smart Cookie”. Attach this printable tag to a deep dish chocolate chip cookie or package of cookies for a back to school teacher gift!

My go-to back to school gifts for teachers bounce back between two things: this yummy cookie gift, and this hand sanitizer gift for teachers. Both are simple to put together and always appreciated!

This post is a pretty little refresh of a post originally shared in 2011.
My boys are starting school in the next couple of days and so I thought it would be nice to bring a little treat for their new teachers! Aaron actually has a “Meet & Greet” this afternoon with his teacher so we made a batch of cookies and plan on bringing her one.  It’s so fun to spoil my kid’s teachers for all of the random holidays throughout the year. When a cute little boy walks up to you with a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, it is bound to start the year off on a good note, right?

In previous years we’ve attached a printable “With You As My Teacher I’ll Be One Smart Cookie” tag to a box of cookies or a small container filled with regular sized cookies. One year we gave out boxes of Girl Scout cookies to the kids’ teachers. Thin Mints, yes! This time we went BIG. Our deep dish chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy, and when warmed up for few seconds in the microwave are a fork-worthy treat. They make great Valentine gifts for teachers, too! One batch makes 10 giant cookies.

Cut around the border then glue onto a piece of black card stock. Then punch a hole and string the tag onto your cookie package. I bake my deep dish cookies in these baking cups. They are nice and sturdy and make the perfect dish to eat the hot cookie out of. I placed each cookie in a cellophane bag and tied the tag using baker’s twine.

If you decide to make these cookies, be sure to let the teacher know that they are best served warm! Just heat in the microwave for 5-8 seconds and they’ll be all warm and gooey!

    What a wonderful idea. I’m sure the teachers will be most apprecitative. In reading your profile I was struck by your comment regarding the “best years of life.” I recall reading one of James Herriot’s books years ago and he was reflecting on his younger life when raising children. He said the same thing – that raising children was the best time of his life. I’m now at that stage of looking back. It truly is a wonderful time and your blog indicates that you’re making the most of it. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!
