Getting ready to ship some cookies for the holidays? The first thing you should really purchase is a simple food sealer.This picture shows our ever popular spritz butter cookies ready for the mail. You can seal them in a party/treat bag or we have found the easiest thing to use is the popular zip lock snack bags.
We pack all of our spritz in this manner (over 8,000 so far this year!) as well as any other cookie we may make that is 2" or smaller.
For larger cookies (i.e., iced sugar cookies, gingerbread men, etc.) seal them individually. This will help preserve freshness and the recipient only has to open one cookie at a time! Place two cookies back-to-back and roll in a narrow strip of small bubble wrap. Then place carefully into your shipping box.
Always place a piece of bubble wrap at the bottom of your box (we always use USPS Priority Mail boxes - extremely sturdy and FREE!). Fill in any spaces with packing peanuts. Be sure to not pack your cookies too tightly - we don't want them to get smashed before they even get in the mail!
Happy Baking and Shipping!
