To keep the emphasis on the cookies, not on a glitzy packaging, many exchanges specify:
12" paper plates, may be Christmas themed; cookies piled evenly, so that an empty test paper plate set on top does not slide off; a business card size label with the name of the cookies plus your name and phone number; the whole thing covered with Saran or similar shrink wrap.

To prevent sampling out, the shrink wrap should be sealed at the bottom by putting the wrapped plate onto an upside down iron set for Perma Press for a few seconds.

You can find plastic holiday treat bags at dollar stores. These will hold a dozen small cookies or 6 larger ones. These sold well at bake sales. I also found aluminum (sometimes holiday) pans with plastic covers that would hold 1-2 dozen.

I have also used baskets, lining them with holiday tea towels or tissue paper covering securely with plastic wrap. You can wrap the bottom of a cardboard box, line with tissue paper and cover with holiday plastic wrap.

At our local dollar store, I saw some holiday-themed boxes that would make a nice presentation for probably a dozen small cookies. I believe there were five in a package. You fold them into shape and the handles "lock" into place. I bought some of this same type box that were plain white and I plan to decorate with scrapbook paper and embellishments. Also I believe the goodie bags come in a few sizes. Check at your craft store or dollar stores for the size you need.
