These "burgers" only require a box of brownie mix for the patty and cake mix for the buns. Got a sugar cookie mix? Hello, french fries! Check out Bakerella to get the printable gingham basket.

Valentine's Visions: Cookies for Guys

So much of Valentine's Day is based on the premise of guys giving gifts to girls. Well, these cookies by Whipped Bakeshop are perfect to give to the guys in your life. They're a little sexually suggestive, which most guys probably won't mind.

Cookies To-Go!

Presentation is everything! If you want an inexpensive gift for your co-workers, neighbors, and other random folks simply whip several batches of cookies (homemade or mix) and package them beautifully. They'll be safe to ship without breaking, and the package elevates them from ho-hum bake sale staple.
