Great advice. If you have any special tips for shipping cookies I’d love to see a video on that too. Thanks! ❤️

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! I've only ever shipped cookies a couple of times and it was just a few so I'm no expert. What I do know is tons of bubble wrap and make sure there's no movement in the box so when you shake it, nothing moves inside, so stuff it with buble wrap or paper until that happens!

Omg you’re so right!! No one shows this step in the process and it’s soOo important!!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes!! First impressions and how you deliver package your product is so important!!

[@thatgirlray2765]

Not really a good long term solution, but I use shredded waxed/parchment paper for shreds. I also use the “natural” kind (the kind that’s brown) for a natural look

Great info! You can also buy these cookie pouches made of bubbie wrap and it really protects the cookies from getting smashed or broken. They also have clear plastic envelopes for cookies and it has a glue seal you just peel back and stuck together no heating machine needed however the pouches may be more costly than the heat sealer

[@LittleCookieCo]

Oh I didn't know about the bubble wrap! Great to know for shipping!! And yes I've heard of the self seal bags but haven't tried them yet!

@@LittleCookieCo Hi! I noticed how a lot of cookie sellers on youtube stopped selling their amazing sugar cookies and I was wondering why? Does it drain people out?

[@LittleCookieCo]

It is very draining, a lot of time goes into them and a lot of cookiers like myself have other full time non-cookie jobs. Most people don't charge enough to make it worth while because they feel like people won't pay. And I know a lot of bakers have said that cakes are much more profitable because they can charge a good price and they take much less time. Hopefully cookies will get to that point as well one day!

Hi I am from India … could you help me out how to make these as in India we dont get materials so easily here…. So is it possible to start this in India?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes or course you can! You don't need to have the exact same things, try to see what you can yet locally or online. And try to see if there are any cookiers near you or in India to share ideas. I know some of the Facebook groups I'm in have people from all over the world!

[@charmainetodhunter8341]

Hi, what size are the clear bags for the cookies? I looked up the link but there was lots of different sizes. Thanks

[@LittleCookieCo]

I usually get a bag thats at least 4 inches wide because thats how wide my cookies are, I like to some that are 5 inches too because sometimes when you have a thicker cookie and layers of icing you need a little extra space. So my go to sizes are 4x7, size 4.5x10 (this size is good if your tying them with ribbon) or sometimes I can bag 2 cookies with this one cause its tall, and size 5x8 for my bigg cookies!

[@aimee2373]

Hello! If you’re giving them individually wrapped to the customer how do you hand them their cookies? Do you bring them in something and make sure they bring something to carry them in?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Sometimes I'll have bigger versions of these boxes on hand and line them up in the boxes, so not on top of each other but put them sideways and one behind the other. I've also just lined them up in paper bags before too, for that I'd suggest doing it for studier cookies, so ones that don't have any narrow sections so they don't break.

[@judithcrain1713]

@Little Cookie Co So I went to your link for the "heat sealed bags" .... but the companys instructions so that under ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: it says: Heat Sealable: not recommended. So maybe this is an incorrect link?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hmm strange I never noticed that before! I've always heat sealed mine without any issues, wonder what the reasons for that.

[@marcomarko1759]

Great Vid...Can you tell me long can these cookies last ...What is the shelf life?/

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thanks!! If they are sealed up in bags or an airtight container about 2 weeks for freshness or you can freeze them for a few months as well!

[@birjisaslam218]

Very informative video please let me know what is the size of your logo stickers ? Thanks

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! I tried to look back at my order but it doesn't seem to say the size. But I'm pretty sure it was the 1.5x1.5 size!

[@jordanann4383]

When I put my dried cookies in a heat sealed bag, the total icing will “stick” to the bag & almost get wet & smear. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong or how to stop this. Do you have any suggestions?

[@jordanann4383]

Royal icing ***

[@LittleCookieCo]

How long do you let your cookies dry for?I normally leave them at least 8 hours or longer uncovered. Sometimes the surface is really dry but the icing may be slightly wet under or its really humid and it's not full dry. Another thing is the type of bag you use that could be causing the issue, sometimes different plastics don't do as well. I believe mine are polypropylene (I have them linked under the video) and I've never had issues with them.

[@jordanann4383]

@@LittleCookieCo thank you! I let my cookies dry about 12 hours before bagging at least. It must be the bag issue! I’ll try that ☺️

[@angelad.janicke8838]

Hello, how do you price your cookies when selling them?

[@LittleCookieCo]

You could technically try and work out your ingredient cost and then add an hourly wage etc. I've never actually sat down and done that though. But if you're consistently busy with cookie orders, then it's a good sign you need to raise your prices. It has to be worth it for you to make them and be compensated fairly for your time and effort. Also, depends on the detail, amount of colours, size of cookies, if they want individual packaging etc. All of those things should be considered and added on to your minimum prices..

[@rebeccaniznik4024]

How do you package larger cookie orders like 2-3 dozen? That’s what I average but they are getting smashed when they lean on each other.

[@LittleCookieCo]

I used to have deeper and wider boxes where I could put more in there, but haven't had them recently. I know some people get deep boxes and then will lay the cookies sideways so they're in a row so they're not on top of eachother if you're worried about them getting smashed. My cookies are quite sturdy so if I lay them on top of the one next to it or behind it they usually are ok!

[@DesignwithMEEAshleyDEE]

Great video! First time cookie baker just for fun. How do you prevent your cookie designs from “sweating” or melting in the plastic bags? I had beautiful designs on my cookies but once I put them in the plastic bags the designs were fuzzy and melted looking. Any advice is much appreciated.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hi and thank you!! It sounds like maybe you were using a different type of icing? If you are using royal icing you would have to let it dry about 8 hours or overnight on the counter uncovered for them to be fully dried and be able to bag them. I have my icing recipe here, maybe that will work better for you? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmbQh36Qo7mkl8U

[@DesignwithMEEAshleyDEE]

@@LittleCookieCo Thank you!!! I used royal icing. That's where I messed up. I did not let it sit out long enough. Only an hour. Thank you for the advice. I will give this a try for my Christmas cookies.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Oh good, glad you figured it out! It takes a really long time to dry so I always make sure to finish them the night before I need them. That way there's no question if they'll be dry enough to package 🥰
