So excited to share my 2018 Holiday Cookie Box. This yearโs box is filled to the brim with homemade cookies. Everything ranging from chocolate covered, to caramel stuffed, to vanilla frosted. Itโs packed full of all my best cookies, bars, and brownies. Anyone you gift this box to is going to love you just that much more this holiday season. Trust me, this is the gift to give.
Welcome to the sweetest Sunday of the year. Itโs cookie box day! Now a new tradition here on HBH. Last year I shared just how to create the best holiday cookie boxโฆ thereโs a lot of great packing tips are in that post, so be sure to check it out. I had so much fun creating last yearโs box, that I thought I would do it again this year, but with a couple new additions.
One of my very favorite Christmas traditions is shipping out boxes full of homemade cookies to friends and family who will not get to be with us over Christmas. Iโm sending this yearโs box to a good friend who just had surgery and is spending the month of December recovering and getting back on her feet. I thought a long while on what the perfect gift would be to send. One that would put a smile on her face and bring her some holiday cheer. I contemplated just sending flowers, because things are so busy these days. But in the end, I kept coming back to a good homemade cookie box.
There really isnโt a better gift to show someone youโre thinking of them than something you took the time to create and make just right for them.
This yearโs box is full of so many goodies. Everything from cookies to bars, and even some homemade hot cocoa mix. Because nothing goes better with cookies than a steaming mug of hot cocoa. Youโll notice that some of the recipes are older. Some I have just recently shared. And one thatโs brand new and I will be sharing very, very soon.
Here are the cookies used in my 2018 cookie Box:
Chai Scented Santa Cookies with White Chocolate Frosting
Slice nโ Bake Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Cookies
Salted Caramel and Hazelnut Brownies (coming very soon!)
Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Blondiesย
Browned Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Also in my box, chocolate covered pretzels!
A few tips for cookie box successโฆ
โ When choosing your cookies, be sure to pick cookies, and or other desserts, that will hold up well during shipping. Meaning nothing too gooey!
โย Youโll also want to choose a sturdy box that can handle shipping. I love using a heavy-duty cardboard box that has dividers, so that I can keep each cookie separate from one other. I also enjoy using a good cookie tin. Both are great options for keeping cookies safeโฆand Target has some really cute boxes and tins this year.
โ If possible, try to set the entire day aside for baking cookies. Then package up the cookies and ship out the following morning. Take time in creating your boxes, and have fun. Your recipients will love that you took the time to craft the perfect gift just for them!
For the full how-to and detailed tips see last yearโs box.
Hoping this inspires you to spend the day baking cookies, and shipping them off to your favorite people! Please take a minute to let me know if you make your own cookie boxes. I would LOVE to see your photos, and what cookies/bars you included in your boxes!!
Iโm thinking there should be a new Cookie Box post every single December. What do you guys think?

Hi Lynda,
I talk all about the boxes and dividers in the post:) But they are just basic ornament dividers! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xx

Thank you so much Michele! xTieghan
I love your cookie boxes!! They are a beautiful inspiration. I started selling mine because friends and family kept asking me if they were for sale. I used to send out to just a few friends each year but it looks like everybody wanted a taste ? Check out my shop at http://sodessert.etsy.com/ and let me know what you think!
Thank you so much Sonia! That is so awesome that you could make a business out of it! And the cookies look delicious! xTieghan
Where are the recipes for the cookies in the cookie box?
Thank you
Hi Jenny! The recipes are linked if you click on the cookies name under the photo! I hope you love them! xTieghan
I used to do this years ago and itโs one of those traditions that sort of fell by the wayside, but Iโd like to start doing it again now that my son is old enough to actually be of some help. I would love your tips on what sort of budget/cost I should expect doing one of these. Iโm sort of imagining that itโd be around $15-20 per box (including the box and shipping?), but really I have no idea!
Hi Gwen! The cast will vary greatly depending on how you put together the box and of course shipping. Shipping should be between $20-30. For the cost of the actual box, it should be more than $10-15, but this depends on what is already in your kitchen. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this cookie box! Thank you! xTieghan
