How Can I Keep Cookies Fresh While They’re Mailed Halfway Across The World?
I’d love to send home-baked chocolate chip cookies to my boyfriend in the States and it’ll take about 10 days to reach him. I’m mailing the cookies as soon as they’ve cooled down from baking meaning I’m mailing them out the same day. Other than wrapping them in pairs in clingwrap and putting them in a ziploc bag, how can I ensure they’ll arrive fresh? I don’t have a vacuum food sealer which sucks – I wanted to send him fudgey brownies but it’s out of the question.

My grandpa always sent me fresh baked cookies when I was in college in Lugano, Switzerland, he vacuum sealed them and then reused one of those cookie tins – I received them fresh and after 5 days they were still very fresh. Ziploc now makes a vacuum seal bag that you do not need one of those machine sealers to use and it does not crush the foods – it as a little plug on top and you control the air sealer and pressure manually.
Do I get a cookie now ? or a brownie please ?

Wrap them in foil, then wrap them in plastic.
