 KITCHEN TIPS
Packing Cookies for Shipping
To ensure your mouth-watering morsels are at their best upon arrival, review these packing pointers.
- Bake and completely cool cookies just before packing and shipping so they’re as fresh as possible.
- Pack crisp and soft cookies in separate tins. If they’re packed together, the moisture from the soft cookies will seep into the crisp cookies, making them lose their crunch.
- Line a tin or box with crumpled waxed paper to help cushion the cookies. Snugly pack the cookies to within 1 inch of the top. Use crumpled waxed paper or bubble wrap to fill any gaps between the cookies. Add more waxed paper or bubble wrap over the last layer to cushion the cookies and prevent them from shifting during shipping. Close the tin or box.
- Place a layer of crumpled paper, bubble wrap or foam shipping peanuts in the bottom of a cardboard box that is slightly larger than your cookie tin. Set the tin on top, then add more paper, bubble wrap or shipping peanuts.
- Seal the box tightly with tape, label the top and sides of the package "Fragile and Perishable" and adhere a mailing label.
