How to properly pack cookies for mailing/shipping.

Q: What type of cookies are best for shipping to your loved ones?
A: Drop, refrigerator and sandwich cookies are fairly sturdy and less likely to break when shipping.

Q: How do I pack them?
A: Drop cookies should be bundled back to back in packages of two. Some convenient refrigerator cookies can be tied with ribbons to make them look extra special. Strong flavors such as gingerbread should be kept separate from mild flavors such as sugar cookies.

Q: What type of container should I pack them in?
A: There are many options available for containers. You could start with the disposable plastic containers that are so available today. Or if you want to dress it up, use a holiday tin, some are
also available in plastic. Or decorate a craft container of your own. Crumbled waxed paper should be used around the cookies in the individual containers.

Q: Do they need to be packed into an outer box?
A: Yes, all packages, should be placed in a second larger box that is also cushioned by crumpled waxed paper or bubble wrap.

Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy.  [Coffee] is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so.  From roadside mugs to the classic demi-tasse, it is the perfect democrat.

To get all the shortening out of your measuring cups when making cakes or cookies, crack an egg in the cup first.  Tilt the cup to coat all sides with the egg, then pour out.  Now fill the cup with shortening--it will plop right out, all in once piece.  Cleanup is easier too.  (you can also spray the cup with cooking spray)
