Christmas cookies in the time of Covid

[spinbaby]

Is it safe to mail Christmas cookies? Not that I think I have Covid, but it did occur to me that, if I were asymptotic, I could inadvertently spread the virus through all those cookies I mail out the first week of December.

1. I will go out on a limb and say yes

Covid should "die" on surfaces within hours and or days. The most likely way to pass covid via mailing cookies would be it the postal carrier had it and then the recipient touched their face after handling the package with in minutes of receiving with out hand washing between collecting the package and facial touching.

2. Just wear a mask and food prep gloves if you are worried about it.

3. My guess is it's safe

However, if it was me, I'd ask the recipient how they feel about it. It'd be a shame to put forth the effort and expense only to have the recipient toss them out of fear.

4. I've order batches of walnut chocolate cookies three different times from a baker on ETSY.

Never occurred they be harmful. I’d imagine the oven would kill those little buggers big time.
