| Easy Tips For Mailing Holiday Cookies The only thing worse than a holiday without cookies is a holiday in which the cookies you're gifting have been reduced to a pile of stale, dried-out crumbs. Luckily, there are simple steps you can take to ensure the sweet treats you ship to friends and family arrive as delicious as the day you baked them. Pick cookies that last-This isn't the time for fresh fruit tarts or treats piled high with frosting. Let your cookies cool-Let your cookies cool completely before you pack them. Otherwise, the trapped heat will make them soggy. Stack strategically-To keep them from breaking, consider putting flat-bottomed cookies back-to-back so that they can reinforce one another. Once you've done that, wrap the pairs. Package Right-Skip the cute holiday box in favor of a tin (still cute!) or well-sealed container. Whichever you choose, make sure the size fits the amount of goodness inside it. Invest in faster shipping-If you're mailing holiday cookies, this isn't the time to be cheap at the post office. Choose priority shipping rather than regular to speed up the travel time. Get out the aprons and check out these titles |
