I have never shipped cookies before. I have a recipe for some butter cookies i would like to send to a friend. It would take about three days for them to arrive.Do they keep well???

I would think so being that it's pretty cold in much of the country. When I mail something like that I usually write, in large red letters, "keep from heat".

We send care packages over seas :wink:
Glad put out a little machine that sucks the air out of their specialty bags. This works great for keeping foods fresh. :D:D:D

A friend of mine said to put a lot of popcorn around things like cookies and candy and they will shop well. I would also mark in big letters "fragile; please hand cancel."
Bet they will love them!

Pringles cans work great. Then I use old scrap pieces of batting to fill the box.

marking the package Fragile is no good as everything is automated these days. Mail gets thrown, plan accordingly.
I would guess butter cookies are somewhat fragile but that Pringles can sounds like a great idea.

PS - so are you going to share the recipe?

Also after the cookies have cooled. Put them in the freezer and then ship them. Hopefully they will stay frozen or closer to frozen with the weather still cold this time of year. Frozen cookies will stay fresher longer

when i send cookies i place two back to back and wrap them in plastic wrap, then place them in the box. I've been abl to send cutouts this way with a minimun of breakage. Takes a bit longer to package but works for me.I think they stay fresher, too.

Pringles, etc., cans inside other boxes inside which they'll fit sounds like the best way to ship fragile cookies.
