Some kind of shortbread cookie (choc chip ?) if you can protect it from crumbling at the edges, or sables (Dorie has a bunch of variations). A savory / cheese cookie might be a nice second if you are sending jam too (the linked one is meant to have a dollop of jam).
More ideas for mailable treats on some previous threads:
Just wondering if some of you send or gift homemade or purchased food gifts for whatever holidays you may celebrate?
I’ll start with what we do. We send out quite a few boxes of Baklava and assorted Greek pastries, along with some of my homemade jams, jellies or syrups. Maybe a kitchen towel or new gadget. Also, since we live in the state of Washington, a few other “goodies” may be tucked in.
Lulu is now off at college, and of course I’m trying to figure out ways to make her feel happy, and to make me feel useful. What are the best foods to send through the mail? I am assuming baked goods, and thinking cookies and bars, but very open to suggestions (keep in mind neither of us eats pork). And what is the best way to send stuff? I read that freezing baked goods first helps them survive the process, is this true? Grateful for any and all tips. Thanks! Kari
My nephew and the kid of a close friend (who lives far away and won’t be sending her anything similar) are both starting college.
I’m trying to think of what would be interesting / fun to put in a care package, while also keeping an eye on shipping cost vs cost of what’s in the parcel, lol.
@LulusMom1 also started this baked goods thread recently which is a Venn diagram overlap
My holiday treat-making started early this year, and won’t stop till the year runs out, so I thought I’d start the thread.
What’s happening that’s festive in your kitchens?
Missteps can go here:
Here we are, on the cusp of the 2023 winter holidays. I’m starting my German gingerbread this weekend, so it’s time to fire this topic up for the year.
What are you planning?
:tada:Let’s use this thread to discuss, plan, celebrate and share the special things we’re making for the 2022 winter holidays, any and all of them! You may think starting this thread in October is early, but fruitcakes and German gingerbread are already underway in some households of my acquaintence. This was a special thread every year on Chowhound, and I hope the tradition can continue here on Hungry Onion
