Easy Cookies

Super easy cookies that you can add anything into.

Ingredients

• 1 pack butter
• 1/2 the butter weight in sugar
• 2 tsp milk
• 2 cups flour (Use a mug)
• Add any of these:
• 1/2 cup choc chips (I chop a big bar of galaxy into mine)
• 3 tsp mixed nuts
• 1/2 cup dried fruit
• 3 tsp cocoanut
• 3 tsp hot chocolate powder *for double chocolate cookies*
• 1/3 cup dried cherries
• 1/3 cup breakfast oats
• You get the picture – mix and match until you find a mix that you like.
