How to properly pack cookies for mailing/shipping.
Q: What type of cookies are best for shipping to your loved ones?
A: Drop, refrigerator and sandwich cookies are fairly sturdy and less likely to break when shipping.
Q: How do I pack them?
A: Drop cookies should be bundled back to back in packages of two. Some convenient refrigerator cookies can be tied with ribbons to make them look extra special. Strong flavors such as gingerbread should be kept separate from mild flavors such as sugar cookies.
Q: What type of container should I pack them in?
A: There are many options available for containers. You could start with the disposable plastic containers that are so available today. Or if you want to dress it up, use a holiday tin, some are
also available in plastic. Or decorate a craft container of your own. Crumbled waxed paper should be used around the cookies in the individual containers.
Q: Do they need to be packed into an outer box?
A: Yes, all packages, should be placed in a second larger box that is also cushioned by crumpled waxed paper or bubble wrap.
