Homemade Cookie Mix and Boxes

Last updated on By 5 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

This recipe for homemade cookie mix is an old one from the Domino Sugar website. Originally called 1001 Cookie Mix, the

Chocolate Chip Cookies

The recipe for the mix itself is still on the Domino site, and if the link still works you can find a collection of recipes that call for it. The corporate websites tend to change things around often, so if the link doesn't work you may have to use their search box. Here it is for now.

Recipes Using Homemade Cookie Mix

It makes baking multiple types of cookies more convenient, plus it also makes a great gift.   For the little gift box above, I measured out 3 cups of mix (18 oz), put it in a cellophane bag, stuffed it in a box, then decorated the sides of the box with recipes from Domino's recipe collection -- specifically, the ones that use the mix.   Hopefully they'll make their goal of actually having 1001.

Also, thanks to a reader I have found a good source for boxes. You may already know about this, but if not check out Brown River Packaging. They have the 4x4x4 boxes (as pictured above) priced at 100 boxes for $23.45, plus just about any type of box you could imagine. And they'll send you samples. I just put in an order and will let you know how it goes. Ground shipping in the 48 lower US states is free.

    I just posted about this starter mix last week as well. It's pretty good. I need to use up the rest of mine today, I think. (Just because I just gave away all the goodies I've been making and there are none left in the house.) 😉
    I made some chewy gingerbread biscotti with it. I need to get on there and submit them to the FB contest.
