My mom always said "broken cookies have fewer calories." 😄

Your mom is my favorite 😍😂

Ima go break all my cookies brb

Lol

[@lynda2844]

Not sure if any one already asked but I was happy that the recipient showed the unboxing and I was looking forward to seeing how the ice pack worked but when she opened the package there was no ice pack!! 😮

[@cici777tsnl]

EXACTLY! The ice pack wasn't in the box that @sugargeekshow clearly packed in the box. @Sugar Geek Show clarify what happened.

[@jeannecharlson9678]

I, too, was disappointed that the box that arrived was not the same box that she packed.

[@elegant.destiny]

I was just telling my uncle that I planned to send him some of my gingerbread cookies for Christmas so this is perfect timing!

Perfect! I love cookie season :D

Thank you for always making practical and useful content!

I just found you and am really enjoying your videos. I love the pace and your sense of humor and look forward to trying some of your recipes! I especially love this video since I'm going to be shipping to my son this year and it will be a first for sending baked goods, so it was really helpful!

[@SugarGeekShow]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the sugar geek fam. I hope your son likes the goodies!

[@peggythomas2103]

I didn’t see the marshmallow in there either or the ice. It was different than what she had showed how to pack it.

[@SugarGeekShow]

I chose not to send the marshmallows because I didn't have enough, and took out the cryo packs because nothing in my box was perishable. Just did it for demonstration if somebody really wanted to do that. It doesn't make a difference though, everything else was packaged the same way :)

Thanks so much for this super informative practical video! This is my first year doing a mail in cookie swap so now I feel ready. 🎉 Including the unboxing was the perfect ending and proof your methods work!

[@jeannecharlson9678]

Not sure you can call it “proof” that her method worked since the box that arrived was clearly not the same as the box that she packed. (The ice pack was not in the box when the recipient opened it.)

This was awesome thank you. Can you please tell me how you freeze the cookies, do you wrap them in cling film or foil?

[@missyreelawson1516]

I am new to your channel and love the "packing cookies" video. I also made your Hot Chocolate Bombs. So fun and easier the more I did them. The cardboard between the cookies is a winning idea!! My box will be going from OR to Kansas. Merry Christmas!

[@SugarGeekShow]

Thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you too 😄

Oh my I wish I had found your channel prior to xmas lol but, I’ll be prepared for next. Thank you

[@naz-naza5799]

Great video, thank you, some questions I hope you can answer: do you pack frozen cookies right away? Will there be condensation when wrapped up and might the cookies get too soft? Do you freeze cookies in bags or can you freeze in pyrex glass containers? If you use anything other than flat rate boxes, how much did you end up paying for this box you sent to Texas and did you tell USPS the contents are perishable? Thank you so much for your answers 😁👍❤️

[@doreestone4487]

Thank you so much 🎉. Cookies will soon be on their safe journey from Tennessee to Phoenix, AZ now worry free. 👍

[@americahanson1367]

Specifically for the marshmallow; is it important to be airtight if it will be on shelf/in package for a few days? I guess, what’s the shelf life for homemade marshmallows?

[@doreneanderson9077]

thanks

[@denisehenrickson-dear7605]

Hey, girl! Thank you so much for the video it was very helpful! I’m getting ready to ship off some cookies to a new client. I have never shipped anything edible. So your advice is extremely appreciated! I was thinking that not only was I going to add your advice and your techniques. But I was going to use my Seal a meal machine to make sure the cookies stay fresh. Because I’m going to mail out this clients product priority mail. And that takes 2 to 3 business days. I’ll let you know what happens! 😁😉

[@ettenylrosa1332]

What happened? Update please!

[@denisehenrickson-dear7605]

@@ettenylrosa1332 So sorry, my crazy life got in the way. It went really well! My client was supposed to get her order in three days but it arrived a day early! Her cookies were not broken upon delivery! I made 12 heart-shaped sugar cookies and 12 oatmeal chocolate chip. I cut to size on a cake board(card board with an extra support later of paper) I applied to the back side of the cookies, making 12 cookie groups. Lol! Then I sealed them! All of them, arrived to the customer’s home intact!! After I sealed them I folded the plastic around each set of cookies and tied a gold an cream colored twine around them. Added the finishing touches; taping twine in place adding pop corn around cookies, added fake roses 💐and cute bakery themed stickers. I took photos if you want to see the process. And after photos. In the end, I don’t think it was too bad for my very first experience mailing something edible to a customer! 😁😉🌹🌷

I am confused. How was your friend in Texas able to just pull open that cookie box like that when in your video I saw you secure that cookie box with a sticker? Did she pre-open it before hand/ before video? I am only asking because I plan on mailing baked goods to all 6 of my sisters in 3 different states.

The order went great. It was my first time mailing anything edible. The client and her family loved them. And she said they were fresh when the came out of the sealed bag. Apparently her family were tied on which cookie they liked best. Lol! It was a great experience (not cheap to mail) for both myself and the client. I'm so pleased it worked out! :D

I have a question for you. when i was a child we enjoyed the flavor of anisette toast during this time of the year. i can't find them in north carolina. they are great for teething babies, disolves easily when they come in contact with saliva so no choking to the infant. which is what i will need for my first grandchild in 4 months when she begins teething. the anisette cookies with glazing are awesome. do you have an idea in your bottomless recipe tin?

@@SugarGeekShow But on your video you packed the cryopack than put the paper in. When your friend open the box it didn't have the ice pack and you put the ties on the end of the cookies not in the middle. Plus, your cookies were laying side by side not standing up. Then you put a sticker on the box before you put it in the bigger box. Just saying!

You didn’t put the cryopacks in your friend’s box.I wonder if they work or just wet the whole cookie’s box🙄
