I need some care package recipies

Cafe Society

Scenario: I’d like to send a Care Package to my girlfriend in Chicago. I’ve got a few things lined up already (sappy gift, heartfelt letter, you know). But I’d like to send her some food as well. Sweets, preferrably.

Rules:

  1. Must be easy to make, for a 25-year-old guy with only basic cooking skills and rudimentary ingredients. I can bake pretty well if I put my mind to it (used to make cookies and brownies all the time in high school).
  2. Must travel well, in the sense that it can survive through a couple of days in the hands of the USPS relatively intact.

Types of foods/snacks I could make would be good, specific recipies would be better. Packing/shipping tips would also be appreciated.

I now leave my fate in the hands of the Teeming Millions.

Cookies are good. You could try the ginger snaps I posted in Zenster’s Ultimate Recipe Thread II (on the first page). I was sure I also posted my favourite oatmeal cookie recipe somewhere here, but can’t find it.
