Introducing the Cookie Countess Cookie Capsule Collection!

Tired of using boring clear bags as packaging for your beautiful decorated cookies? Or maybe you’ve been looking for a more protective way to package them that is just as pretty as the cookies themselves? Well, look no further than the Cookie Countess Cookie Capsule Collection (say that ten times fast!). These beautiful and functional options for cookie packaging are about to take your cookie game to the next level!

How to Use Them

• First, make sure your cookies will fit! More about this later, but the round domes can generally accommodate a 3.7” cookie, and the rectangular domes can accommodate a 3.25" x 4.25” cookie.
• If you will be “gluing” your cookie into place, smear a dab of royal icing on the back of the cookie and adhere it to the center of the backer, allowing to dry before moving; if you lift the backer vertically before the icing glue is dry, the cookie may shift out of position.
• Remove the adhesive strip around the edge of the dome and carefully place into position.
• The glossy side of the backers have a centered outline you can follow to attach the domes.
• Once the domes are in position, they are difficult (if not impossible) to move without damaging the packaging, so make sure you are careful when applying the domes.
• The capsule collection is food-safe and will keep your cookies fresh just like heat sealed clear cookie bags do.
• To remove, simply peel the edge of the dome away from the edge of the backer and tear.
• Cookie capsules are NOT reusable.

Some Things to Consider

• The most important thing to take into consideration (as with choosing ANY packaging) is going to be your cookie’s size and shape. The rectangular capsules have an interior diameter of 3.3” x 4.3”, and the round capsules have an interior diameter of 3.875”. Your cookies must be able to fit within those constraints in order to work with the capsule collection.
• I know this might sound self explanatory, but a 3.875” square cookie is not the same as a 3.875” round cookie. You will not be able to fit a square cookie of that size within the constraints of the round capsule, since the corners will cause an issue. Measure your cookies accordingly.
• If the size of the cutter you have selected is very close to the interior diameter size of the capsules, you MUST take spread into account. “Oh, my cookies don’t spread” you might be saying right now. Maybe. Maybe not. I would not advise waiting to evaluate the truth of that statement until when you go to package your cookies up.
• You also have to take into consideration the height of your cookies. How are they going to be decorated? PYO cookies have practically no embellishment other than the flooded base, so they would be a non-issue. But if you have elaborate florals or embellishments planned for the tops of your cookies, make sure you stay within the height constraints of the capsules. Another key thing to note is that the rectangular capsules have vertical sides and a flat top, whereas the round capsules are a dome, so they have less height room towards the edges. Plan accordingly.

When to Use Them

I mean, when wouldn't you use them?! The options are virtually endless, but here are a few suggestions:

• Pop-ups: If you are a cookier who does pop-ups to sell your baked goods, these are a fantastic option. Not only are they an eye-catchingly pretty way to merchandise your products, but they are protective and functional, as well! No more smashed cookies on the table, and you can even stand them up for more visual appeal and space saving!
• Classroom treats: I know that every time I have ever sent cookies into school with one of my daughters, the fear of them getting smashed in a backpack by an unbothered 3 ^rd grader is so real. Cookie Capsules are an almost foolproof way to send cookies to school so that they don’t arrive damaged!
• Party favors: Cookie Capsules elevate your cookie into a full-blown thank-you gift on its own. For extra pizzazz, you could even attach a second dome to the back of your backer and add candies, small toys, or even a gift card!
