Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you would love to have chocolate chip cookie mix on hand at all times with little muss and fuss this is the recipe for you. I like to make up anywhere from 3 to 6 batches and store them in the pantry for a quick homemade treat. It really takes no more effort to prepare 6 than it does 1 batch and you can have a from scratch cookie mix ready to go anytime! You can take this same recipe and layer it in a jar for a terrific gift; housewarmings, welcome to the neighborhood, new baby, holidays, or a quick teacher gift. If you need a quick contribution to a bake sale, you will have one ready to go. You probably have these ingredients already in your pantry so go ahead and whip up a few mixes.

I love to make mine up in mason jars, not only do they look pretty on my pantry shelves, but I use the round lid to trace paper which I then cut out and write my additional ingredients and baking directions on, so it is stored with the jar.
