COOKIE MIX

1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup vegetable shortening

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda and brown sugar. Stir to blend. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Spoon about 1/2 cup of mixture into each of 8 small containers or ziplock bags. Seal bags tightly. Label with date and contents. Store in a cool, dry place. USE WITHIN 12 WEEKS. Each package makes 9 cookies. (Instructions follow:)

To Make:

1 package cookie mix
2 teaspoons water
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
granulated sugar

If using Mom's oven, preheat to 350 degrees. If using toy oven, follow directions for baking cookies.

In a small bowl, combine the cookie mix, water, raisins and chocolate chips. Stir together until mixture holds together in one ball.

Shape one teaspoon of dough at a time into a ball. Arrange on an ungreased sheet.

Butter the bottom of a small drinking glass. Dip buttered glass in sugar. Flatten each ball by pressing with glass.

Bake 10-12 minutes in Mom's oven or as directed on toy oven. Cool on a rack. Yields about 9 cookies.
