Mix in a Jar: Tangy cookies

mixing cookie mixes

This is an interesting taste combination. The orange zip of the astronaut’s Tang Drink (and if you do not get that reference, go read your American space race history, starting in the 1960s) tastes great combined with the vanilla of the chips as opposed to the ubiquitous flavor of chocolate chips that always go into everything.

Of course, having said that, if you cannot find vanilla, white chocolate would make a great counterpoint to the orange flavor.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Tang Instant Breakfast Drink powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups vanilla chips
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Layer ingredients and store in airtight container.

Attach a tag with the following instructions:

Tangy Cookie Mix

1 package cookie mix
1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg slightly beaten
1 tsp. Vanilla Mix

Roll heaping tablespoonfuls into balls. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 375F degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until tops are very lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet.
