Mailing cookies?
This year DH and I are going to Australia for Christmas. It will be our first Christmas away from our families. We are celebrating with our immediate families, but won't be seeing our grandparents. I was thinking I would send them some cookies, but I have never done this. Anyone have any tips? I would love to send them wrapped up cute, not just in a plastic container. Any idea on shipping costs or the best type of cookies to ship?? They would be traveling from Minnesota to Nebraska, if that helps (I think it take about 4 days to ship something). TIA!!!
Re: Mailing cookies?
Bar cookies work well, as do most drop cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, etc.)
If sending more than one variety, place one variety in a plastic or cellophane bag -- don't mix the cookies. Put padding in between the bags, and around the edges (bubble wrap, crumped newspaper, shredded paper, etc.)
If you happen to own the King Arthur Flour cookie book (or flip through it at a library or book store), there is a section on mailing cookies.
I've found that the best way to ship cookies is to use a large reusable Tupperware container. Fill the empty space in the container with paper towels/napkins so nothing can move around. You can then wrap the container if you want something cute for them to unwrap.
Then, take the wrapped container, place it in a larger box with lots of bubble wrap/packing peanuts around the outside. The trick is to minimize movement as much as possible...this will minimize breakage.
GL!
