Overseas Cookies TipsCertain cookies tend to ship
better than others do. Cookies
that have a crunchy or hard
texture such as biscotti,
Mexican wedding cakes,
crisps, Springerle, and
shortbreads make excellent
choices for mail delivery.
Cookies that have a slightly
chewy texture, like chocolate
chip, oatmeal, snickerdoodles,
and white chocolate-cranberry
cookies also ship well. Have
fun sending your
cookies
knowing your
overseas sailor
will enjoy
them when they
arrive!
