Holiday Cookie Packaging: Round 1 Completed

Last night, with a little help from my sister, I packed up cookies to give coworkers. The candy boxes and takeout boxes I ordered did the trick nicely! But my dumb baker's cord hasn't arrived yet. Maybe today. I'd certainly like to have it before I start packaging cookies to mail.

I always have grandiose packaging ideas, but I invariably do not have the time (or the patience, once it comes down to scrambling to mail the baked goods) to execute them. So it stayed pretty simple.

Here are the takeout boxes (hmm....that's a riveting caption).

The candy boxes turned out to be a very usable size. Here they are with not-real-but-close-baker's-twine-ish-twine-I-had-from-last-year.

For some reason, I found the idea of packaging sweets in an empty sugar bag highly amusing. So I did.

A close-up of the cookie tray I brought for the office. Pictured are (counterclockwise from left): peppermint bark, chocolate crinkles, butter pecan turtle cookies, icebox sugar cookies, and Russian tea cakes.
