Cooking Tips: Shipping cookies

To insure that cookies arrive in the best possible condition, carefully pack them between layers of waxed paper in a rigid tin. Use crumpled waxed paper to fill in any extra space. Then pack this tin in a larger, sturdy shipping box. Pad the area around the box with crumpled paper or other packing material, seal and address.

Plain, sturdy cookies, such as drop cookies like Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisin, make the best travelers.

If you're using cookie cutters to make cut-out, decorated cookies, smaller designs are less likely to break in transit than larger cookies.
