I make custom decorated royal icing sugar cookies and I use a heat sealer and individually bag cookies. That makes them easier to stack and I bring them to family events in shoe boxes.
This leaves me extra space in my bag to go home. It also has the advantage that cookies can be frozen and taken out to enjoy individually or just stay fresh longer. Once you have a heat sealer you may find it comes in handy for other things. https://a.co/d/8sqxPdO |
I just went through security at DCA with 3 dozen cookies at 5pm today. |
+1 on the popcorn. |
It’s liquids - and gels. I had a jar of drippy peanut butter confiscated once. But my kids bring homemade snack mix and sandwiches with no issue. I bring cookies to visit family regularly. Besides food rules, you also can wrap things up so securely they can tell what is in it. So I’d avoid lots of foil. That’s why they say not to travel with wrapped gifts at the holidays. The last food rule is not to transport fruit and other items across borders where it could cause issues with invasive species, but I assumed OP was traveling within the continental 48 states. |

They still taste the same broken up in small pieces. Just sayin.

Yes, until some jackass inevitably invents the Banana Bread Bomb. |
True!! |
Yup. All it takes is one a-hole with a chemistry set & an alliteration fetish. |
you mean you make popcorn to be a filler for your cookies? |
Good to know. Thanks! |
We do it all the time. Have literally never had an issue. Ever. |
| Of course you can bring your own food on a plane. You can bring ice through security. You can bring frozen water through security. |
In fact, broken cookies are better for you—all the calories leak out! |
You cannot bring jar of peanut butter but can bring peanut butter sandwich- jar if peanut butter is considered liquid and needs to go in quartz bag |

This website will help you figure out what you can bring. We've brought all sorts of food through security at the airport - never an issue. Just have to be careful with things with a consistency of paste. |
