Best Way to Package the Cookies Before Shipping
First, let your cookies cool completely before packaging them for delivery. Warm cookies are harder to handle and cookies can shift in the box, creating a massive cookie blob. When you’re ready to send your cookies, pack them in a firm-sided cardboard, metal or plastic container lined with plastic wrap or foil. Insulate the sides of the container with a “wall” of crumpled waxed paper. Place waxed paper between each layer or wrap cookies in pairs, flat sides together. For extra protection, place the container in a larger box padded on all sides, with crumpled paper or packing material. Wrap the box securely, mark it “perishable” and send it on its way.
Expert tip: To keep more delicate cookies or treats (such as our Holiday Sprinkle Fudge) intact, wrap them individually in plastic or wax paper bags before placing in the box.

Keeping those cookie exchanges close to home? When you can skip the shipping, give your cookie gift platters added flair with special touches (like ribbon woven into the plate rim or a festive bow to tie a gift bag together).
Best Way to Ship Cookies
No one likes a stale cookie. For best results, bake and ship your goodies the same day you bake them. When mailing baked goods, choosing Priority Mail is a good option. Using this shipping method generally takes 2 to 3 days if mailed in the United States. For optimum freshness, you can select next-day delivery for your cookies.
