What are the best cookie recipes to ship?

I want something ';fancy'; (not just sugar cookies), but not TOO expensive to make, to send in the mail. It won't be an incredibly long journey (not being shipping to another country, just another state.) He's a chocolate lover. If there are any sort of brownies that fare well, let me know. I know they can't be soft types of cookies. I like trying new things though and want more than the chocolate chip cookie (although if need be, I will go with that.) He does NOT like oatmeal cookies or anything with cinnamon. Thanks!What are the best cookie recipes to ship?
Really you can do any cookies you'd like. You just need to pack them correctly to get them to stay soft and moist without molding.





Try this, if you are making bars or brownies cook them in a disposable pan. Then a bagel, cut in it halves and put the outside edges together so the cut sides are showing...like this )( then put them in a sandwich bag, seal it up and poke a few holes in it. You want just a few holes and nothing big enough that the bagel can slip out of. Set this on top of the bars and wrap the top of the pan with a double layer of foil. If the pan came with a lid, put that on too and wrap with foil again. Use a shipping box that's a little big so you can put crumpled newspaper or packing peanuts under and around the wrapped pan.





For cookies, make them as usual, but pack them in layers in a disposable pan with wax paper between the layers. Make sure they are packed tightly so they don't move when the pan is tilted, shook or even dropped! Use bread slices instead of a bagel in the sandwich bag with holes in it. Bread works better with cookies...I'm not sure why. Wrap the pan in foil and ship the same.





I've used this method to ship cookies and brownies all over the world including to the troops in the Middle East. So far, every batch has stayed soft and has not molded at all. The bread or bagel will get really hard and dry, but the good stuff will stay delicious.What are the best cookie recipes to ship?
Bake these in one of those aluminum pans, cut into bars and leave right in pan, crunch up some wax paper an put it on top of the bars to hold in place and put your lid on top, tape shut and ship with lots of padding around it. It will get there safe and sound.
