    I think they would be fine. Here are some suggestions I have for shipping the cookies. Pack them in a box so that they can't rattle around and break, and use waxed paper or parchment paper to fill in any gaps. Then wrap that box in plastic wrap really well to keep the cookies from getting stale. Then use bubble wrap to cushion that box inside the shipping box. The cookies should arrive unbroken and as fresh as when you packed them.

    Hi all. I have made this recipe twice and I love it. I wanted to make some to send to my boyfriend for Xmas since we are both visiting family and won't be in town. If I wrap it up really well and mail it on Dec. 21 priority so it gets there by Dec. 23, do you think the cookies will still be good to eat?

    Thank you!

    This cookie was a little sweet for me. The combination of the sugar cookie mix and molasses made it too sweet for me. Plus I thought the recipe made too much icing. I was left with 80% of the icing after I decorated the gingerbread cookie.

    I made this recipe three times this past christmas holiday, snd every time they came out pixel perfect! They are tasty! My whole family couldn't get enough of them. And most importantly is that they dont get hard like most gingerbreads do. Whats important is that the dough sits for an 1 hour in the fridge, it makes it so much eaiser!

    Was was desperately looking for a traditional gingerbread recipe to tackle for Christmas. My total experiance in cookies was almost nothing. I am pretty darn good at scratch made pies, but that is about it. I decided to search the misc. gingerbread recipes on Foodnetworks website. I found a great one here. When the recipe is adherd to, the cookies come out moist and perfect. This recipe will not be religated to Holiday baking, oh no! It will become a regular when we crave a special treat-especially when the grandkids come over.

    I am a nightly viewer, and my wife and I watch with great interest, the many different programs that you offer. We experiment with the different recipes seen on these programs, and are always inventing little twists on them as well.
    Thanks again

    I was searching for a good icing recipe to go with my cookies, and this one is amazing.

    It gets stiff but it's still moist. Delicious.

    I will surely also try the gingerbread cookie recipe some time!

    I had never made Gingerbread Cookies before, so this past holiday season was my first attempt. I was, of course, impressed with the ease of the recipe, but even MORE pleased when I first tasted them when they were done. I couldn't believe I MADE THEM! I personally LOVE ginger and so for the second batch I added a bit more to the recipe. Other than that, they were PERFECT. Chewy, spicy, and a BIG HIT! I'll definitely be making these for years to come. Thank you Sandra Lee!
