Holiday Cookie Mix

Submitted by Lorrie in Montreal

"This is a cookie mix I make every Christmas. When time is at a premium...being prepared is always a good thing. I got this from a Christmas edition of Pillsbury's Cookbook. Using the baking mix you can make several different cookies for your Christmas cookie trays. The beauty of this is you have the mix in the refrigerator to use whenever you have short time to whip up a lovely cookie! I will add the cookie recipes asap."

This is a really great idea. I halved the recipe to make Recipe #263328 and have the rest waiting in the fridge. I think I'm going to make some almond cookies with it next. Thanks! :)

What a great idea! I never would have thought to make up your own cookie mix to make a variety of kinds of cookies and brownies. I used this cookie mix to make Recipe #263347 and it worked great. The brownies were delicious!

This is a nifty little recipe that I will keep in the pantry. I made only half a recipe this time as a test run for my Xmas cookies. So far I have only made the Coconut Cherry Chews and my gosh they were delicious. I can't wait to try the other kinds next.

Excellent cookie mix. We made a small batch for about 1 dozen cookies and the only thing is we had to use about double the amount of butter called for. Baked at 425F for 15 minutes. This is a must recipe to keep in the pantry for quick cookies. :)
