In reply to Lisa. Hello!! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page for this just in time to ship some Christmas cookies. Do you tell them it’s packed with perishable items or just ship it as normal?

Thank you!! Getting ready to ship some cookies and I’ll be using this! 2 questions:
What about cookies with RI transfers attached? I am shipping wedding shower cookies that have flowers on them. Any tips on keeping them from crumbling/breaking off?
2- this is prob a total rookie question- sorry! I realize that once covered in icing the cookies stay soft and delicious- what about the edges? I just decorated some wedding dress cookies that i didn’t ice all the way to the edge bc of the design of the dress. I can put them in an airtight container as soon as they are dry, but that’s usually overnight. So wont the undecorated edge of the cookie become dry??

In reply to Karen. Yes, you can! We used a flat iron when we first started. However, I really like the heat sealer because I don't have to worry about burning the plastic treat bag and it is food safe. But thanks for the reminder! ;)

You are a genius Lisa. Thank you so much for sharing. I have been asked to make cookies for a friend’s wedding next year and I was already sweating about how to get them from Holland to the UK in one piece. I have sent a couple of ‘trial’ packages and have lost 2 out of 15 cookies, so not too bad. However, I shall certainly be following your instructions to the letter. Thanks again to my favourite cookie queen!

Great tutorial! How much time elapses between freshly baked and shipping? How do you keep the cookies from getting hard and staying fresh tasting?

Thanks! Evonne

In reply to Carla.

Hi Carla,

WOW! 500 cookies! Are you sending them to me! LOL It sounds like you are going to be busy lady!

I would personally follow the same steps for decorated or undecorated icing because it’s the best way to protect the cookies. Actually, undecorated cookies break more easily because they don’t have the royal icing to hold them together so following the steps above will help your cookies arrive safely.

Hope this helps!

In reply to Abby. Also, TSC and other farm stores (Rural king, etc) usually have egg cartons for sale! Much more expensive than just saving, but by the same token, beggers can't be choosers! ^_^
