I'm guessing plastic containers? <br /><br />Also, thanks for the tip about shortening. I sometimes sub half shortening for butter so the cookies keep their shape without spreading, and it makes sense that it would keep it from going rancid. Good to know since I have some friends I'm sending cookies to soon. <br /><br />Say thanks to your daughter and her unit for me, and let them know they are appreciated for all they do. =)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361819186011561670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608981500503190263.post-5587954873832806992009-06-21T13:04:50.501-07:002009-06-21T13:04:50.501-07:00i'm curious as to how you package the cookies ...i'm curious as to how you package the cookies so they stay fresh. thanks!greenbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400163821384016327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608981500503190263.post-90565501932761413242009-06-21T02:52:01.276-07:002009-06-21T02:52:01.276-07:00oooh yum! i never tried shipping edibles! will may...oooh yum! i never tried shipping edibles! will maybe try them next time:)chocolatecuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328032124122008281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608981500503190263.post-67252344793174572662009-06-20T11:09:02.837-07:002009-06-20T11:09:02.837-07:00I followed the cookie picture from foodgawker and ...I followed the cookie picture from foodgawker and just wanted to let you know I think your blog is great! Love the macro picture pop outs. Also, your suggestion to send cookies overseas is super sweet. I hope at least a few people take up the challenge!pointpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103906580761985874noreply@blogger.com
