The holidays are creeping up. Christmas is exactly 100 days away! SERIOUSLY! As we get into the baking season, I like to make things as easy as possible. Those pre-made mixes get awful tempting, but they are pricey too! So why not make your own? They are super easy to throw together. I actually make the measuring my kids job. It is a great lesson in following directions and fractions. Then you have mixes to throw together cookies in a matter of minutes!
I love this idea even more because it works with my gluten free ingredients. Have you ever priced gluten free mixes?? $5-$8 later! They are crazy expensive. Now gluten free is affordable! Here are some of my favorite cookie mix recipes.
Don’t miss these other great D.I.Y. recipes too. There are some great ones like homemade cake mixes, and homemade ranch dressing mix!
