Everyone loves a good cookie. When we have loved ones away from home either at camp, school, or even in the military, cookies are a way to send them a taste of home. Here are a incorporate of recipes to make your loved one's day! The Chewy Scotch Squares recipe is older than the Pillsbury Bake-Off. I'm sure these cookies have been sent to the soldiers of some wars. Pecan cookies are all the time yummy and ship easily.

How to Make Delicious Cookies That Are Easy to Ship to Soldiers, Kids at College, Etc
This article contains cookie recipes that are delicious, easy to make, and will pack and mail easily. Whether you are shipping cookies to a member of the military overseas, college students, to others out of town or you just like a good homemade cookie at home, these recipes are perfect for you. Choices include Snickerdoodles or Butter Cookies. Christy, my daughter, used to make the snickerdoodle cookies for her papaw and ship them to him from Texas to Indiana. They are so easy, she made them by herself as a preteen. The butter cookies are iced. If you are shipping them a long distance you may wish to leave off the frosting. If you ship them frosted, be sure your frosting is completely dry before packing. Or you can make into sandwich cookies by frosting one cookie and pressing a second onto the frosting.
