The Traveling Cookie
Bake. Pack. Ship.
Get 'Em to Where They're Going
In One Piece
Planning to bake and ship a cookie care package on the NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Limited Edition Cookie Plate? Here’s what you need to know to make sure your cookies stay safe and don't crumble on the way to
their destination:
Timing is Everything
Ship your cookies on Monday or Tuesday to ensure the packages arrive before the weekend. If you wait any longer, the cookies could end up sitting in a warehouse until the following week.
All In a Day's Work
Schedule the baking and shipping as close together as possible, preferably within 24 hours. This ensures freshness. But, be sure the cookies have had a chance to set before packing.
Good Things Come In Small Cookies
If you're using cutout cookies or decorated cookies, small sizes are less likely to crumble in transit.
Keep It Fresh
When you send homemade cookies, place a few slices of fresh bread in the box. It will absorb any moisture and the cookies will stay fresh.
Handle with Care
It doesn't hurt to wrap your cookies a few times. The more protection around the cookies, the less likely they are to break during shipping. Place two cookies back-to-back, with a small piece of waxed paper in between them. Wrap them loosely as a pair in plastic wrap. Then place them in small plastic sealable bags.
Send Your Cookies Packing
Don't forget to fill the box with packing material. Choose from bubble wrap, newspaper, or even plastic grocery bags!
