Cookies To Go

Who doesn’t like cookies? Cookies can make such a great personal gift, especially home-made ones, Yummy!!!

But when you want to put a neat little twist on them, give the gift of the mix and they can cook it when they get ready. Sometimes you get cookies and you don’t have the time or the appetite at the time to eat them. This way your cookie gift can be stored and cooked at a later time. You will be giving them the cookie mix, the add ins, and the recipe.

Mix Ingredients

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

2 1/2 cups sugar

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

Ingredient Directions

Sift all dry ingredients together. Put these combined ingredients in a ziploc bag. Also, place separate bags of the add-ins; nuts, chocolate chips, and raisins aside. Place all the bags in a decorative sealed container. Write or print the following recipe on a notecard or a decorative card and tape to the inside lid of the container.

Cookie recipe to write or print up

Preheat Over 375°

Beat 2 cups of softened butter, 2 eggs and 2 tsp of vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix in cookie mix and blend thoroughly. Separate dough and use add-ins that you choose for your cookies. Shape dough into small round balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

You can either wrap the decorative container up in wrapping paper or you can give just the container. Everything will be inside the container so either way will be great. It just depends on your choice.
