Tips & Warnings
If you do not have aluminum foil, paper towels are an acceptable solution. If you are worried about the cookies becoming stale in shipping, try putting them in zippered sandwich bags instead.
For a fun addition to the package, include the recipe with a hand written note on the back.
Do not package the cookies too tightly or too loosely to prevent breakage.
