I had a customer request 50 cookies but does not want them individually wrapped ( I told her that was more $). How do I deliver them to her looking professionally without each one being in a bag??? Any ideas? Thanks!

I would put them in a cake box with each layer separated with wax or parchment paper.

I saw on this site somewhere, someone had done up a large amount of cookies and had them neatly stacked in a box somehow on their ends. Maybe you can find it in the gallery? Wish I could be of more help.....

Candy120 did 99.5 dozen cookies for Valentines day and she packaged them in white boxes she purchase dfrom Sams. Here is the link to her picture and scroll down in the comments section

You can arrange them on a platter(s) with a clear dome cover which just snaps on. I use this for alot of customers that don't want cookies in individual bags. Cookies arranged in nice boxes with colored tissue paper is another very nice "professional" looking option.

I never thought of a box with tissue paper, thanks you guys I LOVE this web site

I don't know if I would put cookies on tissue paper. Even the NFSC are a bit greasy and I would be afraid that the color of the tissue paper would bleed onto the cookie. I wouldn't want to eat a cookie that was on tissue paper either. Is that food safe?

I just delivered a variety of sugar/chocolate chip cookies over lunch in a 1/4 sheet cake box. I have a picture, but i'm at work so I can't download it. if you want I can post a picture tonight, just let me know.

It was only 2 dozen sugar and 2 dozen chocolate chip but I think the presentation turned out nicely.

Sometimes if I can find rolls of it cheap on ebay, I use these rolls of waxed tissue paper from Williams Sonoma. It's a bit pricy to buy from the website so ebays the best choice...

It repels the greasiness of cookies and looks PRETTY. I hate to say it but I used some of it for my important Christmas gifts last year!

I like the box idea but I usually use whatever I can find... cake boxes, shipping boxes w/ tissue paper, sterilized sushi containers (for the japanese style cookies), tin pizza pans from the grocery store... everything.

They paid for cookies, not decorative packaging, so I suppose it shouldn't matter too much...

This may be a silly question but where can I buy the trays with dome cover? I have only seen them at Costco and I won't have a chance to go there before Thurs. Thanks!

leily : I 'd love to see a photo of your cookies if you have the time.

I've seen them at my local party supply store (Party City).

Party City & Iparty but JobLots has them for next to nothing!! Fantastic prices for 12", 16" and 18" trays and domes. I get the 16" trays for .89 and domes for 1.19, sometimes for .69 and .99!

I only have Party City near me, never even heard of those other stores, and of course their prices are better. Darn!

You could try your local grocery store bakery. They have given me a cake box or two on occasion. They might be able to sell you a tray with the dome lid.

About the box with tissue paper, had a class last night about cake stacking but anyway we talked about transport and what you can and cannot use on your cake board for Food Safety.

You could use tissue paper and then put a single layer of the plastic the clear or clear color plastic you use to wrap food baskets in. You get a nice effect and your tissue paper does not get stained.

Good Luck.

My mother in law collects those sub sandwich/party tray things with lids that they use for catered lunches at work. I used one once, when I was out of a box, and the customer said, "Wow! This is nice!". I giggled. Anywho - her 4 orders after that, she said, "No, I don't need them individually bagged. Just make us a lidded tray like before". So, I never intended to use those, but this one customer likes them. She thinks they stay fresher than boxes....

I use boxes with paper separating for all other orders.

What kind of paper do you use to separate the cookies? Hubby isn't home so I can't get the containers or box until tomorrow. I am still unsure of which I want to use. Thanks!

I use wax or parchment. I've never tried tissue, probably because of the grease thing.

I know I forgot to come back and post a picture of what I had done so I am sorry if it is too late, But here is the last box of cookies I delivered and I think it made a nice presentation.

I stick em' in half sheet cake boxes and put parchment between the layers.....I only pay 55 cents for the box at my local cake store.
