[recipe repost] Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Mix

[Guest guest]

I was getting my supplies together to make up a

few of these for my kid's back-to-school teacher

" hello " gifts. Just thought I'd repost the recipe.

We have a couple of wonderful mix-gift ideas in

our files, so check them out next time you need

a gift for a housewarming or a friend with a new

baby; no need to rush to the store, just raid your

pantry!
