Homemade cookies, even if they are crumbs, are a delicacy. I would remove any excess air from the baggies before packing. Also, make cookies which are sturdy. Fudgy cookies are fantastic and stay together well. Smaller cookies also pack tighter and do not crumble as much.

Can you post or freepmail me the recipe or provide a link to the recipe? Thanks so much.

I've recently discovered the best sugar cookie recipe but I think it would be too flimsy to send.

Can I wrap myself up and ship myself for a gift to a lonely, single serviceman? :o)

Not that I don't appreciate your efforts, but....

They're both the same article.

(I learned how to use that "but" stuff effectively from that guy who served for a few seconds in Vietnam.) ;)

NO!

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Oh boy. I'm sorry. Honest. I'm sorry. I believe I'll be slithering on back to Google. That's too bad, too, cuz they WERE different sites.

Well now, you've gone and done it. I had something typed up to respond to you, ALMOST posted it...and realized it didn't look "right".


I shall have to go to a Plan B.

Come to think of it, I'll send socks and underwear. Mom always said you can never have enough of each.

Thanks for the info on how to package and send. I'll go ahead and make something, I just hope that it isn't moldy by the time he gets it. I've never baked anything that lasted two weeks, but I will experiment with a sugar cookie recipe and try to make sugar cookie bars and see what happens. My soldier also wants Whitman Samplers and various chocolate bars. (They are so packed with preservatives, don't have to worry about freshness :) )

I'm also going to send him a little three foot artificial tree with lights, some Christmas music, his big gift and a stocking filled with all the chocolate. I can't wait to do this, I'm so excited about it.

I've learned alot from my soldier, and it seems that the littlest things make him sooooo happy. When he's happy, I'm happy. :)

Hey y'all, over here! Our Kirkuk unit is in great shape, but there are still more troops in need. Brad's Gramma is a bit insane, but she has a good heart. Give her a hand if you can.
