   covered, labeled container. Mix will keep from 1 to 5 months on the
   pantry shelf in mild, dry weather. Store in the refrigerator during

   vanilla, depending on which cookies you are making. Stir until all
   ingredients are well blended and drop by teaspoons onto a gresed
   cookie sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes. Souce: Cheaper and Better
