Hard to recomend packaging exactly - but a box like this

with a bottle like

I need to go to stores and see exactly how things fit, it doesn't have to be exactly like that. The box should look full, so if there is a gap because the cookie is square I would add another cellophane bag of something like chocolates from a klick bag. Also filling the pox fist with shredded paper is important
What makes these things nice is all the elements together - labels on everything, canva is a great recourse.

The jumbo cookie - if you look at the photo I posted - its that but with a cardstock background. So I cut a square just larger then the cookie, center the cookie on and then stick in a cellophane bag, cut the excess so there is just a bit to tape.

Thanks for all this. Im still left with so many details to figure out...I need a cookie recipe. How big do I make it? The link for the box seems like a wine box 20 inches long...Is that the right thing? I need to make a sticker or 2 with right dimensions ..Im getting overwhelmed even though seemed simple enough. I would love step by step directions with measurements and all. LOL

It's hard to go step by step - I did it one year, but it was a while ago. If I give you exact measurements I will probably mess you over. I would need to try it out irl to maake sure I was recommending something that looks right

any cookie recipe should work - I don't remember what I did exactly

What I would do if I where you is go to one of the frum stores that sell mm paraphernalia (Sunday morning right when they open before it gets packed) pick up a jumbo cookie from the supermarket, and look at the bottle and box options they have, and try to lay it out.

The look you are going for is a rectangular box, with the cookie on the left.
You can also do a smaller bottle of ice coffee and then go with more of a square box. If you are doing premade ice coffee like jj, pick one up and try to fit it in person

Supersize chocolate chip cookie with bottle of cold coffee.
cellophane bag folded in a square, with a nice square of cardstock paper being, round classy sto9cker (make on canva, family mongram). Place in a classy box or cellophane bag

Can of beer with assorted nuts ( be careful with allergies).
package in lucite or clear plastic individual boxes stacked, in a cellophane. nice sticker and ribbon

Homemade Challa roll with bottle of wine/grape juice or store bought or homemade dip.
wrap with shrink wrap on a dollar store cutting board

Homemade chocolate truffles with bottle of wine or liquor.
buy the Kraft truffle boxes from amazon, paper gift bag with classy lab

The trick to classy and elegant mishloach manot is all in the presentation.

I also like the cutting board idea. What else can I use besides challa...like in the cookie family

I get a box with a window or a cheap lucite box if I can find one and I pick one color matches box,or that's classy like black or white or silver and I put in three store bought inexpensive things.

Close, done. It always looks really neat and pretty.

I bought a mini label maker and I print round labels and put it on the outside.

You can do a pile of cookies + a store bought chocolate milk
This photo is jerky and whisky, but you can do it with cookies and chocolate milk

Its from an old BCP post, but maybe the links still work

Add a nice sticker, or a ribbon and label

The j&j cappuccinos don’t need refrigeration. Or you can do a liquor or wine.

You do you, but no matter how fancy the packaging, I wouldn't consider a can of beer and nuts to be "classy." Not even if the beer is imported from Europe and the nuts are macadamias from Hawaii.

You can package and put in the fridge

Or any shelf stable drink that's on sale - chocolate liquor is nice, but more expensive
