As we’re essentially just a group of Swifties who also happen to be party experts, we are somehow drooling and singing simultaneously over these enchanting (and utterly delicious) Taylor-inspired cookies.
While Tay (we’re manifesting being on Travis Kelce-like-nickname terms with her) is well known for her chai sugar cookies, true fans know her fave is a homemade chewy chocolate chip. And practically everyone on planet Earth knows that 1. Taylor is fearless when it comes to all things sparkly and 2. Swifties have a major love story with friendship bracelets.
…Ready for it?
Enter the Taylor Swift friendship bracelet cookies. These mouthwatering desserts boast mini choc chips, gooey caramel, fluffy vanilla frosting, brown sugar, sugary sprinkle “beads” and edible glitter, creating the perfect sweet treat to share with your fellow Swifties. And while you don’t ~need~ a reason to bake these, we personally think they’d be iconic at a Taylor Swift-themed birthday party (if you aren’t sure what to serve with them, our downloadable Taylor Swift Party Playbook has 6 more delicious ideas—plus decor and supplies—to get you into your hosting era).
Here’s how to make this culinary fairytale come true!
Yield: 10 cookies (even if you want to make it 13, we recommend not making these too small to keep them decadent and chewy!)

Instructions
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar using a stand mixer until well combined.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, caramel sauce and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, salt and baking soda, mixing until it's a soft dough.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough into 1/3 cup portions, roll into balls and place into the centers of a large round silicone baking mold. Don't put them on a cookie tray or they’ll spread out all over the place (these cookies are meant to be thick and blondie-like)!
- Bake at 350°F for 12–14 minutes until the cookies have flattened and are no longer wet on the tops of the cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely in the silicone mold.
- Once your cookies are completely cool, remove them from the silicone mold and make the frosting.
Frosting
- Combine the cold cream cheese with the powdered sugar, mixing with a whisk attachment until smooth in your stand mixer.
- Next, add the vanilla extract and very slowly add the heavy cream.
- Once all the heavy cream is added, turn the mixer speed up to high and beat until thickened, fluffy and stable.
- Apply the frosting to your cookies! You can use a piping bag or spreader and make cloud-like shapes on the tops of your cookies (5 "scallops" is perfect).
Decorating
- Flip the candy eyes over so the solid white sides are showing. Use your edible marker to add letters to each of these and place them around the edges of your frosted cookie tops (kitchen tweezers are recommended). Next, complete the "bracelet" by placing sprinkles around the edges of the cookies so they resemble bracelets. Then, for a dash of lavender haze, mist some edible glitter over your cookies.
- Store in the fridge until you're ready to delight your besties with them!

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
