Easter Cookie
Gift Guide
The snow is melting, the sun is shining, and the animals are coming out of hibernation. Spring has finally sprung! That means you’re not far from the springtime holiday of Easter. Easter is a traditional Christian holiday that started in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Even though the holiday is based in Christianity, its observance has expanded far outside the religion.
Today, the holiday is fully commercialized. The traditional symbols of new life, like the bunny and egg, have been leveraged. We have fuzzy bunny stuffed animals, Easter egg hunts, egg decorating, and even an egg rolling competition hosted annually at the White House. No complaints here! Because what is Easter without all of those fun traditions?
But, it is essential not to forget the significance of Easter amid all the fun. Easter means so many things about new beginnings. The holiday is a time to break out of our shells and renew our connections. Renewing connections can mean reaching out to a next-door neighbor, friends halfway across the country, or extended family members. In the spirit of the holiday, you can even renew and deepen relationships with people you see daily, like your spouse or co-worker. And what better way to do it than an Easter cookie delivery?
Why Send an Easter Cookie Care Package?
While cookies may not fit inside those little plastic eggs children desperately search for on Easter morning, they are the perfect treat to send to the people you love.
Here’s why:
- Sociality. As tempting as it is to wolf down a few dozen delectable cookies, save your stomach the trouble and share! Cookies are bite-sized morsels of gooey goodness, perfect for sharing. What better way to celebrate renewal and relationships than by sharing cookies with friends and family? Maybe your kid broke your neighbor’s window with his baseball, and delivering an Easter care package provides the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. Perhaps you miss your college-age daughter and want to remind her anew that she is loved. An Easter college care package delivered to her dorm will demonstrate your love for her in a meaningful way. Or maybe you’re hosting this year’s family Easter dinner, and you want to make sure the whole thing goes smooth as butter. May we recommend Easter cookies to keep everyone happy and agreeable? Whatever the reason you are buying cookies for this Easter holiday, you can rest assured they can help unite neighbors, long-distance friends, and extended family members.
- Nostalgia. Cookies are an essential part of holidays. Whether dressing gingerbread cookies with brightly colored frosting at Christmas or grabbing a classic chocolate chip cookie before watching the fireworks on the Fourth of July, cookies are there through it all. Adding Easter cookies to the menu this year ensures that all the positive memories associated with cookies will surface. Cookies remind us of happy times.
- Tailor-made. When you put together an Easter cookie package, you can choose between delicious flavors like sugar, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, or peanut butter. Which flavor does your loved one prefer? Or if they like all of them, you have the freedom to send them one of each. All of the different varieties allow you to create the perfect Easter cookie gift attuned exactly to your loved one’s tastes.
- Perfectly presented. Picture this: You are in charge of hosting Easter, and for dessert, you whip up a batch of cookies. You stick them in the oven and then head to the living room to set up for the festivities. Before you know it, 20 minutes have passed—uh-oh. The cookies are still in the oven! You rush back to the kitchen and open the oven, hoping by some miracle the cookies will be just fine. Alas, staring back at you are 12 blackened circles. Now you’re left in a lurch on Easter. Now picture this: it’s the day before Easter, and your doorbell rings. It’s your Easter cookie delivery! Inside are perfectly shaped and baked cookies. Crisp on the outside but full of gooey deliciousness on the inside. Perfection in a box. You bring them inside, the cookie fiasco is safely avoided, and the Easter celebration goes without any hitches. Baking mishaps happen. It’s inevitable. But, when you order cookies, you are ensuring that every cookie you get is golden goodness. Leave it to the professionals, and you’ll be delivered a pristine package of perfectly shaped, baked, and decorated cookies.
- Taste of home. This section goes out to all of the kids away at college or the family away from home this Easter. Holidays are about being with the people you care about, so homesickness can hit especially hard when a holiday like Easter rolls around. Give your family member a little taste of home by sending an Easter care package. Biting into a cookie will make them feel like they are there celebrating with you. Maybe they can’t be there in person, but they can indulge in family tastes and traditions.
Who Should You Send Easter Cookie Care Packages To?
- Maybe this year your grandparents won’t be able to travel because of health reasons. While they’ll miss the faces of grandkids scavenging for hidden eggs, they don’t have to miss out on the festivities entirely. Share some of the love by sending some delicious Easter cookies.
- Maybe one of your kids is serving stateside for their church mission. Nothing cures homesickness like a box of fresh-baked, gooey cookies. They can enjoy them on their own or share them with their fellow missionaries.
- Maybe your daughter is stressed about her upcoming finals. What better way to boost her emotional fortitude than by sending an Easter care package for college students? A dozen cookies and a loving note can give her the motivation to keep on studying.
- Maybe your spouse has been working extra hard this year. You want to show them that you notice everything they do for you. Cookies offer a fun, creative, and yummy approach.
- Maybe you want to give a gift to all of your neighbors but aren’t sure about their different interests. Dropping off an Easter cookie gift is a perfect way to please them all.
- Or maybe you want to ship a package to yourself. Cookies will make the perfect addition to your Easter gathering, family dinner, or church potluck. Or just curl up on the couch with your own box and enjoy them all by yourself. We’re not judging.
What to Look for in the Best Easter Cookies?
Baked to perfection. Name a worse feeling than biting into a cookie that looks good but is either so raw you question whether it will pass on salmonella or so crispy your mouth turns drier than the Sahara.
Look for cookies that have a satisfying crispness to the initial bite but a sensational softness in the center. This is the Holy Grail of cookies. Cue the chef’s kiss!
Attractive packaging. If you’re going to order cookies, do it right. Send an Easter cookie package that matches the holiday. Look for a company that goes the extra mile and decorates for special occasions. It’ll mean that much more when your loved one receives their Easter cookie delivery, and it’s in a beautiful basket or box.
Variety. Don’t box yourself into just one or two flavors. Look for companies that can fill your Easter cookie delivery with many different types of cookies. A good cookie delivery company will have enough flavors to make sure everyone can find something they love.
They should have everything from the sweet to the savory, from the fruit-flavored to the chocolate-filled.
Lasting freshness. Shipping cookies can seem risky, but with the proper packaging, it doesn’t have to be. It’s no secret that air + cookies = one dry dessert. But, no need to fear. All you have to do is find a cookie company that bakes for longevity and uses air-tight packaging. If the ingredients and baking methods are right, cookies can stay fresh for days. If they stay out of the air, their longevity will be further enhanced.
For optimal freshness, look for a company that double-seals its cookies. The dual layer prevents any air from slipping in and degrading the cookie quality.
Top-tier ingredients. Your average cookie has sugar, butter, flour, eggs, baking powder, and other miscellaneous ingredients. Unfortunately, many companies try to save some dough by sacrificing their ingredient quality. They switch from butter to oil or from sugar to corn syrup.
Taste and texture are the two big kahunas when it comes to finding a good cookie. It doesn’t matter how pretty a cookie is if it is bland and dry. And these sneaky swaps affect a cookie’s texture and taste. Cheaply made cookies will not have that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-middle combination. They will be denser and heavier and will likely have an unbalanced taste.
If you see a company that uses subpar ingredients, keep looking for a better bakery. Easter is an exceptional holiday, and the celebration is worthy of artisan Easter cookies made from the best ingredients.
How Many Cookies Should I Order for My Easter Cookie Gift?
Generally speaking, one person eats about two to three cookies. But calories don’t count on the holidays, right? It’s always better to have more cookies than not enough cookies. When choosing how many Easter cookies to put in your box, be generous. If there are extra cookies, the recipient can share them or freeze them for later.
Why Order Easter Cookies vs. Just Bake Them Myself?
To bake or not to bake. It may seem like a tough decision, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are the drawbacks to home-making cookies for an Easter cookie delivery:
- Cookies need babysitting. Once the oven alarm rings, the cookies may or may not be done. You may need to add a minute or two to the bake time. In between, life might happen, and you might forget to set or respond to the alarm. If you are like most home cookie bakers, you are likely to burn at least one pan. It happens.
- Baking cookies can be time-consuming: make the dough, roll it out into individual balls (or cut the cookies into shapes for sugar cookies), and then bake the cookies to perfection. Easter time is busy, and you may not want to spend your precious hours in the tedium of the kitchen.
- You’re limited to a small variety. Say your mother-in-law loves oatmeal raisin walnut cookies, but the rest of your family has more of a taste for a classic chocolate chip cookie. Your nephew, on the other hand, loves peanut butter cookies. If you want to please everyone, you’re going to be in the kitchen for a long time. In contrast, when you choose to order your Easter cookies, you can choose a wide variety in a matter of seconds.
- Shipping is risky. If you’re trying to send an Easter care package for your college student, save yourself the struggle of waiting in the grueling post office lines only to have your cookies broken in transit or stale upon arrival. Oh yeah, and you’ll get all of this for a shipping price everyone recognizes as absurd. This Easter, spend your time preparing for the holiday festivities, not getting frustrated in the kitchen or in post office lines that rival Disneyland’s.
