I am very much against prepackged baking mixes. They are filled with all sorts of chemicals, they’re over priced, and frankly I can just as easily make somethng from scratch that will taste way better. But, while feeding my pinterest addiction I noticed just how many recipes call for cake mix, or cookie dough mix, and they want it in the powdered form, not in batter form. So for the longest time I haven’t been able to make all these recipes that I wanted to make. Until I had an epiphany today. Why not MAKE the mixes myself? Genius, right? So I went back to pinterest and found a couple recipes for yellow cake mix and sugar cookie mix, compared them to the recipes I have for yellow cake and sugar cookies. The mix recipes I came up with are pretty simple, and I bet you have all the ingredients on hand.

2c flour
1.5c sugar
