:pinkie does anyone know of anyways to keep cookies somewhat fresh to go over seas???

Freeze them beforehand, then take it to the PO straight out of the freezer. :D

never heard that one before good idea though :D
We just always sealed them in liplocks with all air out and shipped

freeze them all in one bag all together or indi.

freeze them all in one bag all together or indi.

It doesn't matter...

thanks :tigger

I never heard of freezing them. Everyone always told me to put the cookies in ziplocks with sandwich bread. The cookies absorb the bread's moisture or something to stay fresh-when they arrive, the bread is hard as a rock but the cookies are still fresh and soft and good to go!

Also, to keep them from getting too crumbled from the other stuff in the care package, I put the ziplocks in disposable hard storage containers.

Good Luck!!

I have heard of putting the cookies in Pringles cans.

pack them with freshly popped non buttered popcorn

I found that when I used ziploc bags they always wound up in crumbs. So I bought gladware to ship DH's cookies...and I sent 2 batches a week :D Gladware is great, and coffee cans work well too - though I can't take credit for the coffee can idea, I got it from someone else but I can't remember who :lol

I always seal them in plastic bags with bread, then freeze them, then put them in cheapo gladware or coffee cans with lots of padding, then into a large sturdy box with at least one inch of padding around all sides, then ship it the fastest way possible(priority makes it to APO/FPO addresses in about 1 week).

My parents sent my hubby cookies last time he was over and they put them in a ziploc bag and then into a galdware container and there were still moist and all together..
