Mailing Cookies

List of Ingredients
When mailing cookies, choose cookies that are hardy so they can stand the trip. Soft cookies generally are the best travelers.
Use a strong cardboard box or metal container; line with either wax paper or aluminum foil. Then place a cushion of crumpled wax paper, plastic wrap, or cellophane straw on the bottom.
Wrap cookies in pairs, back to back, with wax paper between them. A moisture-proof material, such as plastic wrap, safely holds the flavor while the cookies bounce around.
Pack snugly in rows with heavy cookies at the bottom. Tuck popcorn, puffed cereal, or crushed wax paper into the holes to prevent jiggling. Cover each layer with a cushion of wax paper or paper towels.
Tape the box shut, print address on box (if paper should become torn enroute, the address will not be destroyed with it) and wrap in heavy brown paper. Tie or tape securely.
Print name and address plainly on front of package and label "FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE."
Cookie Exchanges
This tradition has been around for many years. the Christmas holiday season is a favorite time to have these parties. They are a lot of fun, plus you take home some wonderful cookies.
Each person invited bakes a batch of their favorite cookies, puts them in packages of a dozen (one package for each person attending), and brings them to the gathering. After coffee and cookies (of course) are served, each person gets to take home an assortment of cookies.
