Part of it is just having sturdy cookies. For mailing, I usually line the sides of a tupperware container with paper towel. Layer the cookies in and put layers of paper towel or wax/parchment paper between cookie layers. Then the tupperware goes in either bubblewrap or a box with packaging peanuts.

What about sending the dry ingredients only, with the rest of the recipe? So the receiving person just has to add the butter and eggs. No stale cookies that way, and less costly to mail. That way everyone could get a full batch??

I am in, but sending to the States is pricey..... it would be good if we had a few in Canada that wanted to do this as well :)

Edit: also, what about the UK people doing one, and the Australians as well... it would be cheaper, and they could still be part of it. Its a bit more work for the organizer... but... maybe more people would join in.

Sorry . but I haz to Bail on this , Zip Grills , Not Bakes :(

Rib exchange anyone? Here's how it works:

1) zippy sends me scrumptious ribs
2) I eat them


That's it. Who's in?

:P

Oh I thought it worked this way:

- Send Sundae "cookies" (bizarre American food)
- Sundae eats, shares with family, reviews and takes photos
- Posts the above on Cellar
- Teh End

Substitute grits, cheesesteaks, chili, home fries and repeat.

Grits. I haven't even had grits!

I could send you some Rocky Mountain oysters. ;)

That seems more like a recipe swap, since flour is going to be flour regardless of where you get it. I'd like to be able to do a full, finished cookie, especially since cookies can change depending on the baker.

Say no to them Sundae. Trust me on this. They aren't what you're thinking. Oh and don't go for the "Rocky Mountain oysters" either. :yelsick:
