Terra Americana

My favorite after-school treat when I was a kid were my mother’s chocolate chip cookies. No matter how hard my day was at school my mom knew just how to cheer me up. I would help her bake as soon as I came home from school, using cookie cutters to make all sorts of fun animals and shapes. We always made a huge mess of the kitchen but had a great time doing it. This mix allows you to enjoy my favorite treat anytime and with anyone.

Reserve chocolate chips in a small bowl. Preheat oven to 375f. In a mixing bowl combine the contents of this bag with 

• 1/4 cup butter, softened (Or use  canola oil for more heart healthy cookies)
• 1 egg
• ½ tbsp water

Add chocolate chips. Drop from teaspoon 2" apart onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 min or until cookies begin to brown. This bag yields approximately 2 dozen cookies.

Ingredients: Arrowroot and Rice Flours, cane sugar,  chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, dextrose, soya lecithin), Russian Mulling Spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, coriander & special pure orange extract [alcohol, water and pure orange oil]), baking soda & kosher salt.
