I don’t know about you and your family, but the Pigg house goes through a lot of cookies and milk! I can not keep up with running back and forth to the store to stock up on the store bought mixes that costs a fortune by the time I buy the amount we need! I stumbled across these recipes on a favorite site of mine, fakeitfrugal.blogspot.com. It took me only one hour to make three mixes of each flavor below {4 x 3 = 12 mixes}. I was a little hesitant at first that they would not be Betty Crocker worthy. But let me tell you, these recipes are the real deal!

Cookies-In-A-Jar: For a small and inexpensive gift, layer ingredients in a mason jar and top it off with a tag and some ribbon. I like to make these simple and cute gifts near the holidays.
