Cookie Mix InGredients
- 9 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking soda

- 3 cups white sugar

Cookie Mix in a Bag
Assembling this cookie mix is similar to cookie mixes in a jar. However, the best part about this homemade gift recipe is the recipient will only need to add eggs and vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add the shortening and mix until it is like sand. I found it easiest to use my hands. Lightly stir in the chocolate chips and other chips or m&ms of your choice until everything is distributed evenly.
Place 4 cups of the mix into each of the six bags. There should be some of the mix leftover. I was able to add another 1/2 cup to each of the bags.
dIY Cookie Kit Instructions
Print the labels on white one-up label paper. This solid sheet of sticker paper can be found at a craft store or online here. I often upload the file to Office Depot and choose specialty paper and then 1 up label paper and have them print. This makes for a really vibrant and professional looking label.
Cut out the labels.
Stick the label on the front and back of the bag and slip it into the bag of cookie mix. How cute is the “We’re a batch made in Heaven” label? What a sweet way to wrap up the Valentine Chocolate chip cookie mix.
The cookies couldn’t be any easier to make! Here is what the instructions card says. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl beat together 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Add the entire contents of the bag to the bowl and stir until combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are just golden. Don’t overbake. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
The perfect gift!

I found them at a local bakery supply shop. You could look at a craft supply store also. A zip lock bag would work. The grocery store also twist tie storage bags like this https://amzn.to/3gnS2OP
