INGREDIENTS:

    PREPARATION:

    Mare's Cookie Mix

    You can make all kinds of cookies from this mix without making a mess every time and it's so easy to use...you don't even have to run out to get milk, as it's in the mix too!

    Put into large food container, 8 cups flour, 10 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 3 cups sugar, 2 cups dried milk; mix well to blend.

    Add 2 cups vegetable shortening. Cut in until it looks very fine, almost like flour.
    You can keep this one month without refrigeration and 3 months in the refrigerator or freezer.

    Add any ingredient to this recipe:
    Chocolate chips, orange rind, dates, butterscotch chips, chocolate (add 1/4 cup cocoa powder) Directions for using Mare's Cookie Mix

    Heat oven to 375°,
    Put 2 1/2 cups Mare's cookie mix in a bowl. Mix in 1 egg (beaten), 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla and whatever else you want to make whatever cookies you want.

    Additions: cinnamon for snickerdoodles, raisins, chocolate or butterscotch chips, dates, nuts, figs, orange rind, put a Rollo or other candy in the middle of the dough.

    Bake for 8 to 12 minutes; watch first batch to judge time

    Here is the peanut butter recipe: Put 1/2 cup peanut butter in a bowl; beat an egg and blend it into the peanut butter. Add 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon oil to 2 1/2 cups mix. Mix well. Put mix onto plastic wrap and form in to a roll about 6 inches long; refrigerate or freeze. Slice and cook when chilled. (PUT A HERSHEY KISS IN THE MIDDLE OR A ROLLO)
