White Chocolate Cookies MixA Wonderful Gift In A MugThis mix for white chocolate cookies is one of my favorite homemade food gifts because the cookies are delicious and they contain dried fruit of your choice. Another reason I like this gift in a mug is because the mug does not have to be oven proof as the cookies are baked on a cookie sheet. 
After you have assembled the ingredients and placed them in the mug, place the mug in a clear plastic or decorative bag, attach a gift tag, and include the preparation instructions (see below).If you choose the bake the cookies instead of giving the mix as a gift, you can place the baked cookies in a small basket lined with decorative paper napkins or a tea towel. Or, place them in a gift box or a tin container. INGREDIENTS: 1/4 cup white chocolate chips 1/4 cup dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, or blueberries) 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon baking soda pinch of salt Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Spoon into small food storage bag and seal. Place the bag in a mug. 
Attach the following preparation instructions: White Chocolate Cookies Mix 1/2 stick butter (2 ounces), softened (not melted) 1 egg 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 1 Cookie Mix Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter in bowl with electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add cookie mix and beat until blended. Drop dough by tablespoons on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown, cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, and remove to wire rack to cool completely. SUBSTITUTIONS: Use dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips. Or, your favorite nuts or raisins for the dried fruit.
