Last Minute Gift – Chunky Chocolate Cookie Mix
23 Dec
Here it is…crunch time. The day after tomorrow is Christmas and the excitement in the air is nearly palpable. The tree is trimmed, the turkey is thawed, the gifts are…
CRAP! GIFTS! I forgot to get a gift for my neighbor/cousin/UPS guy/hairdresser/random person at my door!
I need something quick, something that doesn’t require a trip to a store. Food! I am NOT baking another confection today. A MIX! PERFECT! Mason jar, pretty fabric, clever tag, VOILA!
Whew….
Merry Christmas!

1/3 c. sugar
1 1/3 cup chocolate chunks
1 c. chopped pecans ( these are optional, I didn’t use them I just added more chocolate )

P.S. You can find Gooseberry Patch Books everywhere, even the library. If you can’t find this one and would like this tag for your mix send me an email and I will send it to you friend to friend. Out of respect for Gooseberry Patch, I won’t post it here.
