Pros: easy & handy! Cons: too high of a sugar to flour ratio? I made the choc chip & coconut ones so far, and they were candy like in terms of sugary taste. Not bad if you like that, but many cookie recipes have less sugar than flour so next time if I make this I will reduce the sugar by a cup. The bad side of doing that is I might just be left with enough for 3.5 batches of cookies instead of 4. Also, I think the sifting step might really help to thoroughly mix the ingredients, I wonder if people have had different results because of unevenly mixed ingredients? (For example, too much baking powder clumped in one of the cups taken or or not enough, etc.?)

This makes any busy mother's life a whole simpler! Just add your wet ingredients along with whatever else, and your kids' friends will think you are a full-time working mom/Betty Crocker!

This is convenient, but not very tasty. The powdered milk is nutritious, but gives it an odd flavor. I tried several variations, and ended up adding things every time to make the texture right. I would rather use an individual recipe that I know will work. This might be good for beginning cooks or kids who like to cook and aren't real picky about the results.

I like this stuff! It's so simple my 11 an 13 year old kids have been using it with the Basic Chocolate Drop recipe. They can make their own when they beg for sweets. Very economical, I finally found a use for that powdered milk thats been sitting up in my cabinet. The cookies are nothing fancy but taste very good for the modest ingredients. I think the kids can try the peanut butter ones next.

I made some homemade PB with my PB maker, it was dry, so I thought I would make PB cookies. I loved this recipe, a little skeptical at first because it didn't call for brown sugar. I did add an extra egg because my batter was on the dry side. I know this doesn't always work, but it did for me. It turned out awesome. Baked them for 8 minutes, kids gobbled them up. Will be trying all the rest of the BCM recipes that are provided. Good job!

had nothing but problems with this. My sister and I used the scaled down option but it just flopped. Admittedly we aren't very good at sugar cookies for some reason but this was ridiculous. It was too soupy to roll out to even cut the cookies added a major amount of flour but eventually gave up and just cooked it in a cake pan.

Easy, easy, easy (and quick)! A little butter heavy, even for someone who likes butter. Adding cinnamon like another reader suggested was smart. I'm gonna try this one with chocolate chips next time :)

I burnt these cookies the first time I made them, but I think it has more to do with my oven than the recipe itself. Once I get the cooking time figured out, I think they will be great!

I made this and have only had problems with it. The "dough" when baked, spreads out and becomes gooey instead of hardening into cookies. It is great if you just like to eat chocolate chip cookie dough.

WOW! I made the chocolate drop cookies with my nieces (4 and 6) and it was so easy and they loved it! The cookies were nice and moist and gooey, I only made 16 instead of 18 but then again we didn't really measure, just dopped them onto the pan! Really great!

I decided that since I had all the ingredients for this mix that I would give it a whirl. It only took a few minutes to throw it together. I've tried some of the recipes that go with it and I love it. It is incredibly convenient. I can make a batch of cookies faster than I can tear open a bag. :)

This is a good recipe and will keep for later use if you want. I added like another cup of flour to make it more into a dough. You need to fiddle with it though, because it is definatly not enough flour for the dough you need for thick cookies.

I've tried making chocolate chip cookies with this recipe twice, both times were failures. The flavor was pretty good, but as the cookies baked, they spread out way too thin...even if I chilled the dough before baking. Not very happy with the results at all.
