Cookie Mix in a Bag:


As Jimmy Buffett says, "I got inspired and I knew that it wouldn't last long", so I began working on some cookie mixes this morning.  I have decided to put the oatmeal-chocolate chip mixes into bags this time, instead of into jars.  They will be much lighter, and the bag itself can be reused for another purpose.  And, if I decide to mail the mixes, they will not be as heavy or fragile.  Plus, making the bags are easy and will get me back into sewing.  I think that I will use some of this pretty fabric that I just happened to have laying around.



The box of  Ziplock gallon freezer bags held 38 bags.  So, I decided to make 38 batches.  I put one cup of quick oats into each bag.


Then I added 1 1/4 cup of flour (I ended up using 15 lbs. of flour!), 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.  I will need to buy more chocolate chips and coconut before I can add more to the mixes.


I rolled them up for easy storage until I can get back to them.  
They are safe and clean and ready for the next step.

Stay tuned for further developments!


Here is the complete recipe:

1 1/4 Cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Cup of 1 minute oatmeal
3/4 cup of chocolate chips
(raisins are good substitute)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

When it comes time to bake these mixes up, preheat the oven to 350. Pour contents of bag into a big mixing bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of cooking oil (you can use shortening instead). Add that mixture to the dry stuff and mix well. Use a spoon to drop globs of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Pop into the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, remove from baking sheet to cool and then eat. This is supposed to make 4 dozen cookies, but I really doubt you will get that much out of the recipe.  Enjoy!
