Yesterday I got an order for 20 jumbo Peanut Butter cookies with Toffee in them and 15 jumbo chocolate chip cookies. She also ordered 15 milk chocolate coated peanut butter buckeyes and 15 white chocolate coated peanut butter buckeyes. She is going to send them to her son in Minnesota. This is the 3rd time I this lady has ordered from me. YEA! Do you ever mail treats to family in other areas? Do you make them yourself or would you have someone make them for you?

Hi there lilybug
Wow your cookies do sound very yummy do you ship to the uk? 
I have an aunt who lives in NY and I send gifts to her mainly of things she might miss from the UK so mainly candy bars and stuff like that. I wouldn't mail her anything I made because I fear the package would be opened and the contents consumed as I have a great recipe for cookies but they don't seem half as tastey as yours sound!!

I ship my stuff to wherever people are willing to pay the shipping charges for it to get there. So far the only other country I have shipped to is Canada though.
The peanut butter ones are VERY rich! You need a cup of coffee or a glass of milk with them or you might go into a sugar comma.

I guess I have never sent food in the mail before. What a nice lady to send her son all those cookeis! It is reallynice of her. the chocolate coated peanut butter ones sound really good. I don't like toffee so I wouldn't like those.

Homemade cookies - yum! I was going to make some chocolate chip cookies today myself.
I've made lots of cookies and sent them to my sons before, either while they were in college or one of them serving in Iraq.
Congratulations for getting an order to make these cookies. Do you have a website, or did someone just need something and you offered to make them?

These were ordered by a local lady who has had them before. She is always buying them up at the gas station. I have my toffee listed on eBay and on Etsy, but no website yet. I have never listed the cookies though just the toffee. Maybe I should list the cookies.

Congrats! I think it definitely says something about your baking/confectionary sales to have someone come back time and time again. It sounds like you're doing something right and are making tasty goodies.
So, do you know if this lady wants to adopt another adult child?
I send waffles to a friend in another state, but that's the extent of my sending treats out in the mail.

Hi and well done Lily bug,cookie making is a great fun hooby and if you are able to make some money from your skills then that is a very postive outcome,the cookies sound as though they are special ones,made to order,and to peoples requirements,but what a great way to make some extra money too,I hope you have a very bog oven at home!

I am not making enough to get rich, but the extra money is nice. I am hoping to make a bit more when the weather gets cooler. I am still making a decent amount this summer though. I mainly focus on making toffee, but the cookies and candy are really taking off too locally.

I have sent treats to a family member before. I could not make them and send them, because they would have messed up before they got there. My cousin was in IRAQ about a year ago. So me and my girls ( they was in Girl scouts and I was the leader) took all the profit money from selling cookies and bought more girl scout cookies and then we sent all of them to his TROOP. We got a thank you card signed by them all and some pictures of them enjoying them. Congrates on the hugh cookie order and Hope the keep coming for you!! Have a Blessed Day!1 Happy MyLotting!
