I don't have a recipe for you, but I do have some advice. I am in the Navy, and have many a care package sent out to me. Anyone who has ever been overseas will tell you, the postal service, our's and any other country's, doesn't really care about packages. Think of it about the same as putting your luggage onto a plane.





My mother, the amazing woman that she is, found a way to protect those baked goodies you want to send. Otherwise, the individual recieving them, will be given a box of crumbs.





Once you have baked the cookies, allowed them to cool and are ready to package them, here is what you need to do.





First, you need the following items:





Box of wax paper


Several Pringles cans





Second, individually wrap each cookie in wax paper, as if you were packing your good dishes for a move.





Third, once all of the cookies are wrapped, place each one into the pringles can, like they were a pringle. Once you have filled the can, tape it up and put it into the box. Gurauntee you that when the box reaches its destination, the person will be pleasantly suprised with only a few broken cookies and not a bag full of crumbs.Any good cookie recipes to send to soldiers in Iraq?

these are the best cookies in the world!!
Peanut butter cookies are fairly resilient. Google ';peanut butter cookies'; + ';recipe';, to find one that looks the best for you and your hubby. Otherwise, standard Oreos or Nutter Butters should also stand up to conditions while en route.
