WEDO cookies: easy ideas for a snack to share

Snack time is often the most awaited moment of the day, especially when it is shared. The good news: with a pack of cookies and a little organisation, it quickly becomes a small ritual. Here are five simple ideas, to adapt to the age and number of guests.

Two WEDO cookie recipes

Before the ideas, a quick overview. The COOKIES WEDO range offers two recipes with cocoa chips:

• COOKIES WEDO Vanilla, vanilla cookies with cocoa chips;
• COOKIES WEDO Cocoa, cocoa cookies with cocoa chips, easy to spot thanks to the word “Negro” on the pack.

Each 32 g pack contains six cookies.

The catalogue also includes MAYBI COOKIES, a range signed ema Chocolate, the company that makes WEDO. They come in vanilla or cocoa flavour, with cocoa chips, in a 40 g pack containing eight cookies.

Idea no. 1: the half-and-half snack

Open one pack of each recipe, vanilla and cocoa, and arrange the cookies alternately on a plate. Everyone helps themselves, and those who cannot decide try both. It is the simplest formula, and often the most popular.

Idea no. 2: the snack box for the week

On Sunday evening, prepare the week’s snacks: one pack a day, alternating recipes and ranges. The packs slip easily into a school bag or a sports bag. The children know what to expect, and you save a little time every morning.

Idea no. 3: cookies and fresh fruit

Pair a few cookies with a plate of seasonal fruit cut into pieces: orange segments, banana slices, grapes or diced apple. The contrast between the fruit and the cookies makes the plate more colourful and the snack more complete.

Idea no. 4: the snack workshop

For a birthday or a Wednesday afternoon, turn snack time into a workshop. Place the cookies, some cut fruit and a few small bowls in the middle of the table. Each child makes their own plate, decorates it and presents it to the others. A simple activity that happily keeps a small group busy.

Idea no. 5: with the right drink

A glass of milk remains the classic partner for a cookie. A hot chocolate is a treat on cold days, and older children will enjoy a tea. To go further, read our ideas for pairing biscuits with hot drinks.

How many packs should you plan?

It all depends on appetites, but here is a simple basis for your calculation, using the catalogue formats and about two cookies per person:

For big appetites, just add one pack: you will never be caught short. For a large table, mix the ranges: cookies, Galette bretonne and SANDWICH Vanilla are all great for sharing.

And when you have guests?

Cookies also have their place in a wider selection, alongside other WEDO biscuits. Our article How to make a WEDO biscuit platter explains how to vary shapes and colours.
