These cookies definitely require one or two taste tests ;) Have your child package the cookies in clear party bags and seal with decorative tape. If you plan to hand deliver your thank you notes (great touch) use twine to tie the cookie package to the envelopes. If you are mailing them, put the card and cookies in a padded envelope.
