Does anyone know how you’re supposed to use these cookie tray sets? They come with a paper box, a cellophane bag, a piece of parchment paper, and a gift tag with string. In my mind, you put the paper in the box, put the cookies in, then put the whole thing in a bag and tie it with the gift tag. Except the bag is only barely big enough to fit the empty box… it definitely wouldn’t fit a box with the paper and cookies. I also can’t find any pictures online.
So now I’m left unsure of how they’re supposed to be used and I have 18 of these things. I guess I could put the cookies in the bag and then put the bag in the box but that doesn’t seem like a great way to transport cookies at all.
Any other ideas?!

Cookies in the bag, tied closed with the gift tag. Then put the bag in the tissue-lined box?
Cookies go in the tray, whole thing gets put in the bag with the opening of the bag ABOVE the tray of cookies.
I think the cookies are supposed to lay flat on the paper in the tray and it all goes in the bag tied with twine?
Just fold the bag over and tape the top of the bag to the underside of the box. The side of the bag and the tray now becomes the top?
I wonder if they were meant to be for brownies/bars and got labeled wrong. Translation issue or just the wrong label in the machine or whatever. It was close enough that it’s not ‘wrong’ but not what it was meant to be, so it got sent to home goods to keep it from being a total loss without having to go through all the effort to relabel.
It would explain why they’re oven safe, parchment goes in the bottom so they’re easy to get out, and stuff like that sits flat in the pan, so you only need it to just barely fit in the bag.
I used these trays last week. To start, I cut the parchment to fit the tray. I then put in the parchment and a dozen sugar cookies in the tray and shimmied the tray in the bag. The top was then tied with the ribbon.
