These are amazing!!! I am definitely making these with my 2 year old! Quick question: my husband is in Afghanistan, and I'm making him an Easter themed care package, do you think these could hold up in a box for a week and a half? I keep wanting to bake something for him, but I just don't know what to make that will keep well. The only thing I know that hold up is hard candies, so I have some of those to send him. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll probably be bringing these into his office (I'm trying to convince them to send him home early). Yesterday it was green velvet cupcakes. ;) Hi Tiffany, First of all, thank you for all that you, your husband and your family are doing for the rest of us. Here's to his safe return. Now, for shipping the cookies. If you make the cookies a bit thicker and wrap them in pairs cookie side to cookie side, they should be ok for shipping. Even if they break a bit, the pieces will be pretty. You might want to make the cookies just a bit smaller too, to make them sturdier. You'll have to let us know if the cookie trick gets your husband home sooner. If it does, we'll bake thousands of cookies and head straight to Washington DC! ~ MaryJane
