For me, putting cookies in an old fashioned ziplock bag is my favorite way to carry them. They stay dry and airtight, plus can be packed at the end since their loose form will settle into any contour of the basket.
My treat is a chocolate chip potato chip cookie. I love the sweet/salty combination of this cookie. I use kettle chips as they can stand up to the moisture of the batter a bit easier. If you really wanted to knock it out of the ball park, then try salt and vinegar chips!

I had the good fortune to try a couple of products while making this batch of cookies. One was a silicone measuring cup and another was a silicone baking mat. The measuring cups worked nicely for measuring out dry and wet ingredients. When I packed the brown sugar in the cup, when it was time to add it to the bowl, I just squeezed the cup until the sugar loosened. I didn't need to dirty up another spoon. The opaque white color was easy to see through for measuring. If you would like to
order them for yourself, you can get them here.
I used the baking sheet for the cookie sheet liner. I loved this product, too. So easy to use, it can be cut to size and is so easy to clean! So much easier than the cookie sheet!
This sheet can be used on the grill, too! It keeps veggies and smaller meats like shrimp from falling through the grate. Awesome product. You can get it here. Loved this mat and these would make great Christmas gifts, too!
