I have received an order for retirement cookies, and I have no idea what to make!?! The person retiring is a college Education professor. She is planning a trip to Panama and will be spending some time in Kentucky now that she is retiring. The school colors are purple and gold. Any creative people out there have some idea??? Thanks so much!! icon_biggrin.gif

I know I won't be much help because I'm not that creative. icon_cry.gif How about something like a round cookie with a white background and do the schools monogram (initials) in the school colors with fancy lettering???

What about a colorful happy retirement round cookies, an airplane to represent the retiree jet setting, sleeping in, or other activities they now have time for. I don't know. Just trying to help.

You could ice a round cookie white and then decorate it with a "clock" face. Instead of numbers at 12, 3, 6, and 9, you could wirte out the word "nap". Write "Retired!" in the center. Use the colors you mentioned.

What about a rocking chair? I've seen these given at retirement parties before. Usually gold watches as well. Mmmmm...this is a hard one.

I did retirement cookies for my father-in-law recently. To celebrate his retirement, the in-laws went on a cruise so I made ships with SS Retirement as the ship name; palm trees because of all the traveling they have planned; I made clocks too, I wrote "Who cares?" across them.

Good luck!
