How to Pack Christmas cookies
Christmas cookies are a tradition in many households, and they make for a delicious and much-appreciated gift. Whether you're baking for friends, family, or coworkers, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure your cookies arrive safe and sound:
- First, choose a sturdy cookie tin or box that will protect the cookies from breaking during transit.
- Pack the cookies tightly in the container, using crumpled tissue paper or bubble wrap to fill in any empty spaces.
- You could also wrap each cookie individually in wax paper or cellophane. Then, place the wrapped cookies in a sturdy cardboard box or tin.
- If you are shipping the cookies, you might want to fill any empty spaces with shredded tissue paper or crumpled wax paper. This will help to prevent the cookies from shifting during transit,
- Seal the box or tin with clear tape and attach a festive gift tag or ribbon.
- Finally, be sure to label the container clearly, including your name and contact information in case the recipient has any questions.

How to Store Christmas Cookies
Easy cookie recipes are a delicious treat that enjoyed especially around the holidays. However, if you want your Christmas cookies to stay fresh and tasty, it's important to store them properly:
- The first step is to allow the cookies to cool completely. Once they're cool, you can transfer them to an airtight container.
- If you're stacking the cookies, be sure to put a piece of wax paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
- You can also place the cookies in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to two months.
- Just be sure to thaw the cookies before eating them so that they're at their best.
How to Freeze Christmas Cookies
One of the best things about cookies is that most recipes can be made in advance and frozen for later. This is especially convenient if you have a busy schedule or want to make sure you always have fresh cookies on hand.
- To freeze cookies, first allow them to cool completely.
- Then, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about an hour.
- Once they are frozen, transfer the cookies to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to six months.
- When you are ready to enjoy a frozen cookie, simply remove it from the container and allow it to thaw at room temperature for about an hour.
