Chippy Chocolate Cookie Mix

By dette

"I've had this simple recipe for a long time and got the idea of layering the mix after seeing similar gift mixes in stores," says Francine Wingate of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. "I have yet to meet the person who doesn't rave over the cookies. I sometimes use M&M's in place of the peanut butter chips."
