I bake cookies 
to mail to out-of-town relatives and give to some of my neighbors every Christmas…
I do easy recipes… and ones I feel will keep during the mailing process…
Some basics I want to share …
For most of the cookies I made I used cake mixes…
Recipe: 
1- box cake mix (your choice of flavor)
2- eggs
1/2 cup oil or… 1- stick of margarine or… 1- stick of butter…
(they all work well… but, I think I prefer the margarine)
Mix by hand…
Add whatever other ingredients sound good to you…
Walnuts
Candy Pieces 
Chocolate, Butterscotch, White Chocolate, Peanut Butter Baking Chips
Coconut 
Sprinkle with Decorative Colorful Sprinkles 
if you like…
Makes them festive and yours!
DAY 1:
Orange Supreme…
Added Orange Peel and topped with a piece of Orange Slices Candy…
Also added chocolate/orange Candy Morsels to some of the dough…
Topped some with the Orange Slice Candy…
some with Green Sugar Sprinkles…
and some with Toasted Coconut…
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip…
I also added Butterscotch Morsels…
These 3 batches made 16 dozen cookies…
DAY 2:
Just added a few Chocolate Morsels on top…
a few Peanuts on some with a Decorative Candy Snowflake…
Strawberry…
Rolled batter in Strawberry Dry Jello (like sugar)

Candied Peppermint on some…
These 4 batches made about 18 dozen…
Day 3:
