I’m thinking of making cookies to give my bf on this valentines day. Because he lives on a different state from me and we won’t be able to see each other on valentines day, I’m gonna send the cookies to him. I’m sure the cookies will be sent to him in a few days though I wanna keep the cookies as fresh as possible. Is there any tips to keep the hand made cookies as fresh as possible till it reaches him? Any ingredients that prevent cookies to be damp? Any good ways of wrapping up, packing the cookies?
two words…vacume seal! If you don’t have one or can’t afford it kinkos has them so you can take them in and have them sealed for really cheap. works better than ziplocks for long trips and keeps out moisture and mold/bacteria. buying your own sealer has advantages too. You can vacume and keep fresh everthing from laundry to food!

You could buy one of those aluminum tins and line each layer of cookies w/wax paper. Make sure to tape the lid securely (like masking tape). Then, when you ship it to him, place it in a box w/a bit of room and place styrofoam peanuts or crushed newspaper around it so the tin won’t get banged around too much.

Keep a piece of bread in the container.

Putting a piece of bread in a tightly sealed container should do the trick. It always works for me! I love soft chocolate chip cookies and this keeps the cookies soft for days.
