I would probably do the sugar cookies and some sort of biscotti. Those tend to keep really well. You could also do the homemade vanilla bean caramels. They last an incredibly long time. Like, I’m still eating some from Christmas time. Hope that helps!

Hi Annie. Don’t know if you can/will answer this, but I have a brother overseas and was wondering if you had a cookie recipe in your arsenal that ships well. I assumed your sugar cookies might, as I know you make them in advance. Any others?

Love reading your blog. About packing/shipping the frosted sugar cookies.. how do you do that without having them break. I’ve read that sometimes if you don’t put wax paper in between the frosted cookies they will “melt” in a way and look gooey upon arrival? Really want to send gifts from my kitchen this year and maybe a little 101 post on that would be helpful since the holidays are around the corner.

Hi Jen,
Sorry for the delayed response. I really don’t remember exactly what size of boxes I ordered, as I bought them a couple of years ago. I think it’s probably the medium size but I’m not totally sure about that.

Annie-
I started reading your blog not to long ago and it has been a great help for me in learning how to decorate with royal icing. I really like your boxes but was curious what size you order?

Lexi,
Yes, the gable boxes are awesome. I haven’t bought those yet simply due to the cost, but I definitely want to get them eventually.

I agree with everything. Of course my packages are going to be late this year, but well that’s life! And Nashville Wraps is my ABSOLUTE favorite supplier for gift wrapping material! If you are looking to package your treats all together, their gable boxes are extra fun! (And great for if you are doing box lunches or a Polar Express themed party for a “train” dinner!)

Beautiful Annie! I’m saving this for next year!
