I'm cooking something special (for or to) her birthday.
Which preposition should be used 'for' or 'to'?

For. « To » doesn’t make sense.

Of course you can use both, but for is correct because we use ,,for,, for a purpose whereas we use ,,to,, for direction and in your sentence you’re cooking for a purpose not direction therefore ,,for,, is the correct answer :)

for is better. for means your purpose

"For" would be the best for this context. If we are doing something for a purpose we will probably use "for"
