Fake Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes
Ever have one of those "Ah-ha!" moments? I happened to me yesterday when I was lamenting the price of those very convenient Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes. I remember when they used to only cost $1.00 each in Walmart and now they're $2.50 each! Who says there's no inflation?

Anyway, I usually just tell myself that I can make cookies from scratch anytime with the plentiful ingredients of my pantry, but then it came to me...Why can't I make cookie pre-mixes and keep them in ziplock bags for use at my convenience? It's a similar idea to those beautiful Cookies In A Jar gifts, but just not as fancy!

So, I've come up with recipes for four of my family's favorite Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes. They are a cinch to put together for your quick use later! They're also as convenient as the Betty Crocker Mixes in that they only require butter, egg and vanilla to make!

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Flour
• 1/2 Cup White Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• Optional: 1/2 Cup Raisins and/or Nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together and store in a quart size ziplock bag. Write instructions on the bag to add: 1 Stick Softened Butter, 1 Large Egg, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. Mix & Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes.
