I’m going to share an easy peasy Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Gift with you and then you should check out all the other amazing ideas.
These festive treats are a cinch to make. Your neighbors will love getting the mix.
Here’s the recipe:

2. Stir in mint baking chips and chocolate chunks.
3. Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
