Please keep the recipient in mind. If you are sending this to a person who doesn't bake much, or is living in an environment where they don't have access to kitchen staples and equipment,they may not be able to make your gift. I think I have in mind some college student on a tight budget who hopefully has access to a cookie sheet. I have used buttermilk powder, vanilla powder and whole egg powder and they work fine. These ingredients aren't hard to find (I know King Arthur Flour's site carries them, check your store's baking and health foods aisle), you have drastically reduced the ingredients the recipient needs to add. If you do change the ingredients, be sure to remember you may need a larger container and you will have to edit the instructions to reflect your changes. Instructions should be as clear and complete as possible. Using a phrase like "prepared baking sheet" isn't helpful at all to a novice baker. Say something like "lightly grease a baking sheet with Crisco, or any cooking oil, butter, or margarine, use just enough to lightly coat the part of the sheet where the cookies will sit". Include an expiration date and where to store the gift. For example, nuts keep about a month at room temperature, a lot longer in the freezer.
