Chocolate Cookie Mix

Mikes' favorite cookie is of the chocolate variety. So to simplify things and make it easier to bake cookies on demand for my man, I always like to keep this mix on hand:

Chocolate Cookie Mix

12 cups all-purpose flour
4 1/2 cup cocoa
2 tbsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
12 cups sugar

Combine all ingredients in an extra large mixing bowl. Store in an airtight container or heavy duty plastic zip-top bags. Makes 12 batches of cookies. To use:

2 1/3 cup cookie mix
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla (optional)
optional
1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, walnuts, white chocolate chips, crushed toffee, crushed peppermint candies, mini marshmallows or anything you like.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all ingredients until dry ingredients are completely moistened. Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Allow to cool on pan for a couple of minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
