How long are homemade cookies good for?
I'm working on a promotion and would like to mail out cookies to accompany our product for the recipients to try. Is this realistic? How long would homemade cookies last if they aren't frozen and what type of cookie would you say holds up best without being frozen?

Bake a recipe without butter or oil.
Store airtight in metal or plastic box.
Claims of duration vary from 4 weeks (top quality) to 10 weeks.
Or they just don't fit your model of a cookie.
Brownies are one of the easiest types of cookies to store and ship.
If you gave us some idea of what you would like to send, we could give you a more explicit answer.
Many of the old traditional European cookies can last a long time as they were invented in an era where there was no refrigeration.
Perhaps others will mention some of these.
