You might try other edible packaging material too. I used to send a paper box full of goodies and homemade pickles to close friends and family. They always were packed with homemade rice crispy treats. Everything arrived intact and unbroken, even the boxes heading to Canada and England. Make sure to pack the cookies 1 layer deep and remove as much air as possible from the bags. It makes a difference. I usually included a note and labeled the bags, noting anything like nuts, to prevent a possible allergic reaction. I also listed a contents note so if the kids got to he box first, mom and dad knew what was missing. And how much they had eaten. Most expensive care package cost $128 to send to Canada. I got a full litre of liquid gold (home tapped and processed maple syrup in return). He valued the contents at $1,000,000. It was priceless to me!
