Hello!

I hope everyone is well. 

I have a question, has anyone or does anyone have any tips on shipping cookies that have a cream cheese filling? 

I live in Texas, do I need to include an ice pack in my package? Dry ice? Do I need to freeze the cookies? Or all of the above?

Sorry for all the questions. I hope someone can help.

Thank you in advance!

yes everything you said because cream cheese is a hazardous food like you know -- when it's out of temperature it has a shelf life of only four hours so yes to all the precautions --

however -- I've made a very tasty and safe-at-room-temp faux cream cheese  icing with white balsamic vinegar -- here's the recipe:

a controversy about cream cheese icing is that while the cc is a hazardous food, the sugar in the icing preserves the mixture -- if I'm remembering correctly, earlene, of course a famous now retired caker, had her cc icing tested and it was fine at room temp -- 

but once I learned about cc I was muy careful -- which is why I figured out a way to avoid it --

from home, I was never legal although I did do cakes for friends which messed with my head so I tried to be as blameless as possible otherwise --  but I mostly worked as a professional caker for others --
